Baby, it's Cold Outside!




Wow, is it ever cold around here! I always seems to forget how January is in these parts. We had a really fun New Years Day. Some of our good friends, the Hamiltons, drove up from Des Moines for the day, and we always enjoy seeing them and their cute boys. This week, the kids finally went back to school and we had some more crazy cold, snowy weather. There have been plenty of opportunities to wear snuggly robes from Grandma Cindy, and we've taken advantage of the indoor pool at the YMCA to try out our new goggles. Cole-man is 10 months old and has had a terrible ear infection for over a week- his parents finally decided to take him to the doctor. And finally, our friends introduced us to perler beads and the girls have been busy creating in their spare time. If you haven't tried perlers, you need to buy a bucket at Walmart or Michaels and get busy. It's the perfect activity for these chilly days. This week we are looking forward to celebrating Jordan's 6th birthday. I cannot believe she is that old!

So we bought perlers (glow-in-the-dark) the next day and the kids got busy. Great for the two more snow days last week. Poor Cole, hope he feels better soon!
