Yellow Beach Excursion

Here are a few pictures from our little trip to Willow Beach, or Yellow Beach as Emma called it. The boys were dying to try out their new canoe, so we made a day trip out of it. We ate a little picnic lunch, then hit the water:

The view down the Colorado River.

The sun was blinding, but not heating. It was a pleasant 50 degrees with no wind to speak of.

Asher and Paige head for land.



The Darrington crew enjoy a leisurely paddle.



Make way for Mallard and his "lady friend".

'Frankensteins' Stitches

Daniel's stitches on his hip for his bone graft. Looks pretty good, huh? Tomorrow he gets his stitches removed. He's pretty excited.

"Oh, The Weather Outside Is Grateful" and I am so frightful!!!

Kind of hard to see, but the trees are laying down, almost to the ground.
Steve knocking all the snow off of the trees. They were bent down to the ground.

My rose garden, or snow garden.


The front door. We barely made it into the garage without snow tires.
Frosty, the SnowDork.

Family Almanac

As a school project, the kids and I are making an Almanac for the coming year. I'm pretty sure I know most of the family birthdays, but I want to make sure I get everything right. Please comment with all the birthdays in your families. We are also welcoming any jokes, proverbs, words of wisdom, recipes, etc. that you would like to see in print. We'll send them out for Christmas as long as everyone cooperates! Thanks!
