Cole's first year of basketball

Cole started playing basketball this winter - his first season playing.

It's been fun to watch him learn the game and play with his team.

Got has gotten several baskets each game, and he's great on defense.

I'm excited to see how he continues to improve (hopefully), and I'm curious to hear which sport Cole decides he likes best after this year - he's now played soccer, basketball, and baseball!

Snow days

After Christmas break the kids went back to school... for a couple days.  We had a very interrupted school schedule in January - more days off than in the classroom!

Some of it was due to cold weather, and some of it was because of snow.  The kids loved playing in the snow.  But once it was gone we had to figure out other things to do.

Our last day of the unexpected week off school we went to the science center.

We had the place virtually to ourselves, and the kids had a good time checking everything out at their leisure.

Mead built this giant lego "house and wanted to get picture of everyone in it with her.

It made for a fun morning, and it was nice to get out of the house after so many days at home!
