In primary, they were introducing all the new 3yr olds by singing a little song that included the kid's name and something that they like to do. They would bring up each kid and ask them to name a favorite activity, then sing a little song "hello to ___, who likes to___". So the song leader was going through the kids and they were saying things like, I like to read books and I like to play trains. When they brought Levi up they sang the first part of the song and said, Levi, what do you like? His response - "I like turning light switches on and off."

Good job kid, I bet all those other guys were wishing they could change their answer.

The snows of march took us south for the winter, all the way to Atlanta. We enjoyed family, food, and being outdoors. A highlight of the trip, for which there are few pictures, was the REI garage sale. This involved standing in line for an hour with other outdoorsy folks listening to Bob Marley, then a mad hunt of a shopping trip to get winter outerwear and footwear at 50-80% off its original price.
Carrie, Lucy, and Theo were great hosts, giving up their beds and sharing their toys.
Oh and we even got to enjoy a short visit from Krissie, Stellan, and Rochelle. All said it was a great vacation. And the weather in NH had improved while we were away, making it much easier to come back... and put on our new coats.

Enjoying winter - part 2

It all started with a question. "You guys don't have snow shoes, do you?" Thanks to my nice sister who gave her snowshoes to my other nice sister who then gave the snowshoes to me for Christmas, I was able to answer "Yes" to that question.
The event was "Full Moon Fiesta" which involved a 1/4 moon and no salsa. What it did involve was a 45 hike up a hill to a farm. The farm had a field with a 1/2 mile circle lit by tiki torches. At 6 different stations around the trail, local restaurants were sponsoring food tables. So, we would trek to the first station and have hot cider then to the next station for chili, the next for cinnamon sticks, etc. Each station had it own little campfire. The end was a big campfire for making s'mores. It was great wintertime fun. Being outside, trekking through the woods, feeling like the snow made this event more enjoyable instead of less.


Friends who invited us.


Here I am trying to figure out if I can get in there without taking my snowshoes all the way off.
