January

Me and porcupine head. His hair was unbelivably wild that day.

When you're out hiking and your mountain goat gets away from you....

Braving the cold.

 Not braving the cold. ;)

 Brother Buddies

 I did three sets of 10 pullups this month!!!
Last March I couldn't even do one. Owen stands under the bar and says push push! Until you pick him up and give him a turn.
He also picked up, carried and dropped a 15lb weight on his foot this month. I just couldn't believe my eyes so I didn't save him quick enough. My super boy seemed to be ok though. :)

 We went to Dierke's for MLK Day it was a lovely cold day.

 Ellie's first day of college!
Pictured with her kindergarten backpack.

 She is trying to look older and studious.

 When you're having a bad day and a beautiful flock of black birds come to visit to cheer you up....

Ellie is taking a Cross-country  ski class from CSI. Barry happens to be her instructor. She skied almost 4 miles her first day. She did awesome!
