Oh boy, the last two weeks have been a challenge with all of the snow, our routine has been thrown out the door. We actually got somewhere around 9-10 inches in the last week here in Westfield. We've survived and threw it all the kids have had a good time (as you can see by the photos). As for John and I, it's been more difficult to alter our work schedules to deal with school closings and delays. In the end, it's not a big deal...it's just part of living in the midwest. Here are some recent photos....

I've also included just a few of the photos of Sophie's school work. I have decided to take photos of her work and record it that way because it is impossible to save EVERYTHING. She has been doing a fantastic job this year, very positive feedback coming our way. We are proud of her. We have just started something new with Soccer but she has been taking piano biweekly in our home (very low key, I might add) and is about to start piano in a studio weekly in Feb. We're going to do a month trial to see how she responds. If it goes well then we'll be doing piano weekly through mid June....at least. She has a strong interest in music. So, we're feeling confident musical interest will not stop there.

As for Ian, he is LOVING soccer and preschool right now. I have am one of the room moms and we have a fun Valentines Party scheduled. Ian and I have a lot of mom and son stuff planned next weekend.... more to come.....
