January has been an interesting month in our house. We started off the new year with Aron's 35th birthday! We celebrated with a golf themed cake and presents. The year then lead us to lots of illness and injuries with several visits to the doctors' office and even the ER - which means our health insurance deductible was met in less than 2 weeks! Aron is managing well with his casted arms and I am surviving without his normal hands-on help. We are both hoping the next 5 weeks go FAST! Now we have entered into a deep freeze with snow and ice everywhere you look. The kids have bundled up on several occasions to play in the arctic weather. We even managed to walk to the park and play on the super slippery slides! The kids had a ball landing in piles of snow at the end of each. I have begun my 1/2 marathon training which means that yes, I am running in this bitterly cold weather. I ran 8 miles yesterday in -4 degrees and 6 miles today in -6 degrees! By the end of my run today, I had icicles on my eyelashes. If it wasn't for my running partner, Leigh, I would never be caught out in this weather! I just keep thinking how beautiful it will be in Nashville by the end of April!
Aron's Birthday Cake
It seems like just yesterday we were celebrating his 25th birthday!
Help from the kids to blow out the candle.
Russell worked extremely hard at building his "igloo!"
It is dark by the time we get home and eat dinner, so most of our outdoor time has been in the evening. There was a full moon this week. The kids LOVED it!
Sloane spends most of her time in the snow making piles with her sand shovel and pail.
