For Sale...

Things really just took off these past two weeks. One day we were thinking about upgrading to a bigger house, a few days later we put a contract on a new home. It's a bittersweet thing for us...on one hand we are so excited to get into a bigger home, on the other hand we LOVE our home we have now. We have put SO much into our home, it's going to be hard to sign it over to someone else, but seeing as though we don't want 2 mortgages I guess we don't have a choice. We have a few people looking at the house, so we will see what happens. If you know of anyone who is looking for a home in Richmond, send them our way.

Aphrodite aka Calee

At school Calee's class has been studying Greek mythology. Calee has really enjoyed this section of her school work. The class has just finished reading a book (The Lighting Thief) based on Greek mythology, they dressed up and had a party to celebrate. Calee put this outfit together all by herself, she is so into detail...she made the headband, flower bouquet, found a little bird to safety pin on her shoulder, white sheet, and she even made gold coins and found a little bag to put them in and tied them onto her belt! I wish I had a tiny bit of her creativity, looks like it skipped my generation and she got it! And yes it is really dark when they go to school.

Snow!!

This week has been fantastic!! We had 3 snow days off of school. So how did we spend those days off?!...Playing in the white stuff of coarse. Sledding, snow ball fights, snow man building, hot chocolate drinking, you get the picture. Yeah it was a great week!

Sledding with friends
Calee and her friend Grace, enjoying a ride down the hill.

Gavin and his bud Sam, having a great time sledding.
Calee, Daddy and Brock
Brock loved the snow so much!! If we weren't taking him down in a sled or tube, he would get antsy and scoot down on his booty.

Time for hot chocolate...

Just water for Gavin...we still can't convince him that Chocolate is a major food group.

At home in the snow...

The finished product.
