I am not going to lie. We are starting to go a little stir crazy here. This concerns me for two reasons: 1. I should be happy to be relaxing without traveling since we just had a busy holiday season 2. It is only the very beginning of January.
It has been record breaking bitter cold here the past week. We also have more snow right now than the entire winter season last year. These two things just do not seem to be a good combination. Our kids ask to go for a "ride" just to get out of the house. Sometimes we just drive around a little bit to get a change of scenery. Although we have more toys than we know what to do with at our house, the greatest pleasure still comes from wrestling, blankets, and food (don't get me wrong, the toys are great and they do play with them as well).
I must also mention that I have watched enough college football in the last few days for my lifetime. Thankfully Arin has been around so that someone can distract and entertain the kids when we no longer are adequate.
And...Kadence has discovered a newfound love for Emma. She is a little bit obsessed. I don't think the feelings are mutual at this point. I think she just realized that Emma is a lot like a stuffed animal, only she responds more. So when she doesn't have one of her 12 billion stuffed animals (or the zoo as Arin would say), then she is playing with Emma. For Emma's sake I hope this is just a phase :)
Some days I wonder why we choose to live in a place that gets this cold. I then think of the wonderful Fall, Spring, and Summer's and am quickly reminded. But until then...

Hi!
I wish we were next door so we could hang out. We are getting stir crazy as well!
We have record breaking snow & cold here too. I thought we got away from that but this morning it was -19 and everyone is mad at us for bringing South Dakota weather back to NE with us! :)
I've been looking at my calendar trying to find time to come up. Do you guys have anything going on the last few weekends in January?
