Turned on my computer today and was greeted by this...
Now that's COLD! I know, I know...enough screen shots already and post something interesting! I'll get to that soon I hope! David goes back to work next week. 4 weeks home, all day, everyday...It will be a definite change. We've already been trying to get back into some sort of routine, so when he does go back it's not such a shock having to wake up at 5:45 AM. The first two weeks he was home, we were staying up really late and sleeping in late. This week we've been getting to bed at a decent hour, and waking together at 6 AM.
I am not naturally a happy morning person, so this has been particularly challenging for me. This will be good for all of us though. I get so much more done when I get up early. I'll be able to have breakfast with David before work too!
We've been gaining about 6 minutes of sunlight a day too...so that makes it easier to get out of bed. Soon it will be sunny at 6 AM! ha!
Despite the bitter cold, it has been sunny and beautiful here! I would be out photographing all the beautiful scenery if my fingers wouldn't freeze up upon walking out the door! :o)
There is still a few months of snow though. I see a photography field trip coming up in the near future.
Also hoping for some more glimpses of the Northern Lights. We saw them in February of last year.
Look what we get to "dig out" this weekend! It hasn't been started in 4 weeks!
It hadn't snowed in weeks, and then all of a sudden a couple days after David's surgery, it starts snowing buckets! I HATE shoveling the drive! I shoveled the garage driveway and the walkway with a little help from Gwyneth. She became a little distracted by cleaning off Daddy's truck. She had fun playing in the bed, making snow angels in the good foot of snow that accumulated in there!
'Till next time...
She very rarely stays in front of the camera long enough to get a sweet picture. These are just some of the quick shots I grabbed the other day. She's such a nut. I just LOVE "piggy-buns."
Gwyneth jumped in a few with me that I'll share more tomorrow! She even let me take a few of her alone! Such a rarity. She only gave me about five minutes, but I got some cute shots I can't wait to share!
Today marks the ninth year my sister Rachel and her wonderful husband Matt have been married! I took this steamy photo of them this past summer and just love it!
You can find out more by visiting The Beans Blog Be sure to look around a bit!
And the wonders of technology these days...You can live miles and miles away from your bestest cousin and still "play" together. Gwyneth was on Webkinz this morning with her cousin in Texas. They get to play games together in different "rooms" and can send each other gifts and mail. It's too cute! The phone beside her was set on speaker phone, so they could talk to each other. (They don't do much talking though, I had to ask several times if they were still on the phone because it was so quiet.)
Have a great weekend!
5. I once stole a "Wordless Book" from a Christian bookstore when I was around 4 or 5 years old. My mom made me take it back and apologize to the store clerk...
She is sick today. She's been running low-grade temperatures off and on for a week. Nothing too serious...then Saturday she was laying on the couch with a "terrible headache." Last night she complained again of having a headache. I had just persuaded her to take two children's Mortin (she doesn't like the orange flavored ones) and two minutes later she threw it up. Hmmm...I thought we were in for a night of midnight runs to the toilet, but she slept all night and woke up this morning saying she feels fine...I don't know. I'm canceling all appointments today, just in case...
Daddy encouraging Gwyneth to come off the wall.
The only shot that came out decent of Gwyneth and I. Some lady walked right in front of David just after this.
I think I can do it...
NOPE! Back to the wall! :o)
Gwyneth bought me a cute card with chocolate lips. Just couldn't pass up the goofy photo-op! :o) There were better ones, but Photoshop was running slow, and my patience ran out! Maybe I'll post some more tomorrow!
(photo I took of a latte prepared as it is sometimes served...in a bowl!)
