Winter is finally upon us

This has been a particularly odd winter. Actually, it didn’t seem like we were going to HAVE a winter until sometime in the middle of January. It was as if we had summer, then fall, then spring, then finally winter. During a typical winter around here we have a couple of 3-4 inch snowstorms, and maybe an ice storm or two. Thus far (and it’s now February) we’ve had two dustings and that’s about it. It was JUST enough for the kids to enjoy a little bit before it all melted an hour or so later.

The kids are growing up so fast. Hannah is in a strange in-between phase. On the one hand, she can be so independent. On the other hand, she still wants to have things done for her. Either way, she’s a beautiful little girl, as you can see from this picture — even though in that particular shot she looks more like Jennifer Lopez’s daughter than mine.

Jackson, meanwhile, is turning out to be all boy. He still loves his cars and, as boys do, loves to crash them into each other. Usually he’s a sweet little guy, though.

We celebrated Gayle’s (Jen’s mother) birthday today at a local restaurant. We had a very nice time. The kids loved it because they got to eat fried ice cream!

More to come later!
