2 inches in an hour

And I got to drive home in this.  Hooray?

also (from yesterday):

These will be added to an afghan I'm crocheting.  It's my "sit by the fire because it's too cold outside" project, which should be getting a lot of work this week!

Snowflake

I bet this one lasts a bit longer than the snowflakes in my yard.  

(received in a swap)

Tuesdays, with luck

usually involve knitting with my friends, and books.

MLK day

It was cold and sunny, and we spent the day with some friends at the Museum of Church History in Salt Lake City.  Morgen drew a picture:

and pulled a duck face :)

Oh the joys of a shared computer

the reason why I took a few days off of my picture-of-the-day posts:

and a few of the things I did while waiting the 2 and a half DAYS it took to restore the computer files:

Crossing my fingers that this restore will clear up the problems and viruses that somebody (who will remain nameless) decided to download to this computer.

Mmmmm

Breakfast today was hot cocoa and homemade bread flavored with sage and rosemary.

Bonus: the counter was clean :)

I love it!

Look at all that beautiful snow :)

Taking down the tree

I'm sad to see it go.

oops!

and I totally forgot (just like every year) that today is my anniversary!  So, Happy 17th Anniversary to the love of my life. You get up at 3:30am to go to work, so you can be home with your family in the evenings.  You suggest science fair project ideas to our kids, and happily help them experiment.  You choose to hunt with our kids, and let them take the best shots, even when that means you don't get an elk.  You can fix anything.  You are book smart AND common-sense smart.  You listen to me.

Thank you, honey. I love you!

homework strikes again

but this time it was mine... so here is Thursday's picture:

because I desperately need another project :)

and here is Friday's picture:

Jared repaired the snowblower last weekend, and last night we got 7 or 8 inches of snow.  Perfect timing! He's trying it out on all the neighbors' driveways as I type.
