Night

We listened to a lot of poetry today while drinking tea and acting very fancy during our "poetry tea time" at our school. Before bed the boys wanted to read more poetry. Then right before lights out, Keaton got up and asked for some paper and composed two poems. Only one is ready for everyone to read. It is called Night...

Night

Right now it's night

There is not a sound

Silence throughout the town

as I lay down my head and get in bed,

I hear someone cheer

"Goodnight kisses are here!"

Snow Glorious Snow

The kids had so much fun sledding and tubing at the Winter Park in New Mexico. When we first got there we had to pull over at the first snowy spot to play in. They couldn't contain themselves in the car. They loved playing in the little cabin and roasting marshmallows in the fireplace. I don't think that they wanted to come home! Maybe next year we will try skiing!

Someone Loved to Crash!

Fun in the snow!

Every child gets to go to lunch with Dad on their birthday. This is one of their favorite birthday rituals. Keaton picked Willie's Ice House for his lunch.

Birthday Lunch With Dad

Keaton had a wonderful birthday playing with his friends at Rainbow and playing in the snow.

Keaton turned nine years old!

There is snow somewhere!

We are excited and ready to find snow. We waited and waited when the weatherman said that it would snow here, but that snow never came, so we are off looking for snow!
