Way too much fun.

We've enjoyed some sledding on our snowy days.  Oliver and Gloria.

Oliver, snow pro.

Gloria was in a local production of You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown.  She played Frieda (the girl with the "Naturally Curly Hair").  

She rocked her lines, of course!

What a star girl!

No better way to celebrate Gloria's star turn than with Ice Cream.

The boys and Amy had several busy weeks as part of "Destination Imagination" a creative thinking extra curricular project that Amy volunteered to coach for the boys and a few other kids.  They did amazingly this this past weekend at competition.   Luke above.

Great job Amy and boys!
