Happy New Year

This is how I've felt during Christmas Break:











Campbell got a camera for Christmas (from his really cool Uncle Chad and Aunt Courtney). He has been super excited to use it at every opportunity. Today, John went skiing, and the kids and I went for a hike (we all skied together yesterday; two days in a row would overwhelm our children). Campbell took his camera along:

We did the 1.3 mile Lichen Loop at Heil Valley Ranch. It was a beautiful day, about 60 degrees. All the snow has melted, so the hike was pleasant. The kids had good attitudes (it was their idea to hike in the first place, so that helps), and they did lots of bouldering along the way.
See Campbell's blog for more pictures. Most of his pictures are not on the main page, but if you find the "friends" section on the bottom left of his page and click on "pictures" there, it will take you to his photos of the hike.
BIG NEWS: Helene decided to start blogging! I uploaded the pictures for her, but she did all the typing and spelling unassisted. Check it out.
There's a link to both kids' blogs on my page, under "Friends' Blogs."

  1. I had already subscribed to both kids blogs and read them. I think it is so great that you are not correcting Helene's spelling but giving her a chance to figure it out. It is so cute to see a kindergartners phonics and I can actually figure it all out.
