We have snow. Finally. I know it doesn't compare to the snow that Albany has been getting but I am very proud of our 4 inches. School was cancelled because of it. It's not a lot of snow but it is very slick and you add our hills with it and there is no stopping us (literally). In the picture above notice the drop-off cliff behind them. It would be great for sledding if there weren't a forest of trees to stop them "dead" in their tracks. I also asked the kids what New Year's Resolutions we should have as a family. The idea was totally lost on them. After Lane said "No more soda" (they don't even drink soda and Blake and I are done with soda. yes you read correctly!) I knew that they had no idea what I was asking. Paige quickly followed with "watch more movies". Go figure. Anyways, there are many things I would love to do better this new year. I want to be more healthy and make it a goal to exercise 5 days a week. The 2nd thing would be to become a closer family. Maybe it's the cold weather, busy days, and new move, but I find that I'm a little quick to anger. And I find myself doing a lot of apologizing to a 4 & 7 year old. I really look forward to warm weather again. Go fishing, camping, swimming in the pool (Gretchen you're invited), and time outside.

Resolution, to have more snow!

We have only about as much snow as you. This week is suppose to be cold, but so far I can't complain about winter in Albany this year. This summer I would love to go swimming,but, who is going to go with me here in Albany? Well I have some of the same New Years resolutions as you. Last week I did 3 days of working out, some day I will get it up to 5. I guess we just keep trying.
