This picture is of the boys washing the dishes. We had been trapped in the house because of the snow and ice. I had run out of paint and the only "fun" thing we had not done in the house was wash the dishes! How much fun they had!

I seem to only be able to keep up by posting with pictures.
I will tell a neat story. This morning we were taking the ride to school. The same route that we always take. Matthew was very closely paying attention to everything outside. The particular stretch of road we were on was real pretty with lots of trees and snow. Matthew looked out the window and up to the sky. You could see the real blue sky with the very white snow and the dark of the tree trunks. He looks out and says "Wow, what a beautiful, fantastic world we live in!"
I want to try to always remember the feeling of being a child and thinking that about the day.
