One of my goals this year (which I have yet to write about) was to blog regularly. We are half way through January and I feel like I am behind on the happenings of our schooling and the family. I have still yet to find my groove in a routine since we have started school back. Hoping this next week will improve just a bit. So to catch up on the last couple of weeks, there will be a lot of pictures in this post!

The year started out great and we woke up to our first snow of 2012 on January 3rd. The kids were so excited! We decided a day of sledding was in order!

 
The kids got a couple of new sleds for Christmas.  Claire likes using the green sled.
 
Samuel likes using the black sled, because it has brakes!
 
I love seeing them sled together.  They do enjoy playing with each other so much!
 
This is the creek that runs next to our house.  I love how the snows is on the rocks.
 
I love seeing the ice and icicles on the rocks during the winter time.
 
This is a picture of our road and the front yard.  The Japanese Cherry Trees will be beautiful in the Spring time.
 
The pictures just do not do this creek the justice it deserves.  It is beautiful when covered in snow.
 
I always love getting a shot of this little shed in the winter.
 
The kids sledding down our neighbors hill.

Sarah got into the action of sledding with the younger kids.  Never can be to old to sled!
