January (oops, now February) Update

Luke plotting his next move in Zingo.

Hannah in pursuit of her favorite new snack - fresh snow.

Thank goodness Hannah is now in charge of making dinner . . .

Our new snowblower (hand-me-down from a friend) works well, but with some stubborn pieces like Luke, we must go manual style.

Mommy and Hannah in the front yard. We're smiling because it's 30 degrees (above zero, not below!)

Luke and Daddy clowning around - Luke loves the handmixer's beaters.

With my parents, July 1974. Love the 70s clothes and hairstyles.
