January is Here

Sometimes you see something that reminds you of a special place. 

This kid was excited enough about the snow for the both of us.

Catching up with friends!

Thankfully it didn't stay this cold for long. But it felt arctic while it was here.

This coat was money well spent!

More homework

Rocking the old Starter jacket.

Lunch before everyone heads back to college.

Afternoons with Ohma and Ohpa

Afternoons With Ohma & Ohpa

A couple afternoons a week we pop over to Ohma & Ohpa's house. Ohma has the graham crackers ready to go for snack and the cups that the handle is a straw! We play tops or memory a lot. EL usually gets the serving platter and cups out. You just never know what her restaurant will be serving that day. Ohpa always enjoys is "ice cream!"

Back to the Grind

It was time for us to find our new normal. School. Sports. Every day life. School supply shopping in January was a bit unusual. USA schools have way more homework that our Aussie one did. 

MA Double Digits

Every day I am thankful for this girl. She is growing up and I love getting a front row seat to see the person she is becoming. How she got to 10 so fast, I have no idea. MA loves to paint her nails (slightly obsessed). Soccer and swimming are her sports of choice and she still loves to draw and read.

Hello Lake House

After the whirlwind of our 1st week in the USA, we headed to the lake house. Wow, what a house!! And lucky us, we get to go whenever we can get away for a few days! The lake was at one of the highest points it has ever been and the dam was putting out so much water. Just hanging out and relaxing is what we needed. Looking forward to many more memories being made there.
