Can't wait until Spring! Snow Days are no longer a treat, they are an annoyance. And this isn't even as bad as some other school districts in our area.

thoughts...

Why is it that we (or maybe it's just me) find other peoples' lives so much more interesting than our own? I could literally spend all day reading complete strangers' blogs, enjoy their pictures, and wonder about what their seemingly great life is like.

This morning as I drove to work I was in awe of the beautiful frost crystals on every surface. It made me remember that even in the ordinary drive to work there can be the extraordinary. I have a wonderful life, husband, daughter, career, and mornings like this help me remember that. And it must be a little interesting to some, otherwise you would not be reading :)

Small Fry Swimming "Lessons"

Rebecca had her first swimming "lessons" last night. It's more of free swim time for parents and there kids. Rebecca loved it and even let go of me a few times. She really liked the toys ducks of course and would throw them and then "swim" after them again.

Holiday Review

A lot has happened in the last two weeks! We had a great Christmas with Dan's family and a good New Year with mine. Here are a bunch of pictures - enjoy!

Rebecca and her De Vries cousins Allison and Jessica on Christmas day.
Opening presents with Grandma and Grandpa DV. Rebecca and Jessica got matching baby dolls.
The Pontier sibblings all came on the 31st to spend New Years together. We had lots of fun sledding behind the 4 wheeler and ice skating on our pond. That is Doug and Sam on the sled.
Jon and Tonya on the pond.
Rebecca liked sledding too.
