January Random

 So far this year we have gotten a lot of snow...like we are now to the point that we can't push the snow with the 4-wheeler and can only use the snowblower to get it off the road and driveway. It's hard to complain when we have been desperate for moisture and it really is so beautiful.

For the 5th grade project they do a wax museum every year. It was Gracie's turn this year. She did a great job and Liam and I enjoyed going to watch her.

With a new year it was time to redo the theme for nursery. We did a similar layout with the new theme. Nursery has become lonely so far this year. We should have 4 kids but only one come regularly and sometimes no one comes so Im not sure how that's going to work moving forward

Hallie wasn't feeling good one night and for some reason I felt like we should test her for Covid. It came back positive before we could even set a timer so we thought it might be a false positive so we ran another test and got the same result just as quickly. Luckily for the rest of us no one else got sick. Covid is so wierd.

Liam has started doing and building things and then asking me to take picture. Here are a few examples. He was so happy with his "bed" to lay near the fire and watch the heart lights. 

I love Liam being my buddy. I went to meet with Hilary, Bree, and Amy to plan our summer camping trip at a local restaurant and he is always the only kids as all their kids are in school full time. They are always so great to let him tag along and include him. After he ate his lunch the waitress brought him a fun surprise.

Oh the weather has been so wet and snowy we have on multiple occasions had to clear ice dams and cleaning up water inside the house. It got old real fast but we have a long way to go til the snow melts.

The kids are loving one of the side effects of all the weather. They have been eating them and as you can see enjoying it

The girls have loved games for quite a while but now that Liam is old enough to play he has started instigating playing games. I'm always so amazed how quickly he picks up on things and makes them his own.
