The Gray Part of the USA



Sledding Adventure



Thank you, Lord, for safety!  While I stayed home to do housework, the rest of the family went sledding.  Hunted around for a good hill.  Found one we'll never use again.  Had a lake to one side.  They thought they'd sled down the other way, but I guess it sloped toward the lake.  Claire, laughing uproariously, slid right out onto it.  Fell thru the ice near the edge as she was coming back to land.  That cut the sledding short cuz it was so cold that day, and now she was wet. 
Funny thing, Micah didn't even see it happen...

Insight

And here's another insight into our funny Claire.  She took this picture of an almost empty shampoo bottle after she hugged it (the bottle!) because she was feeling sentimental about having to throw the bottle away. 
She has real trouble with change sometimes.  She was really and truly upset when we got rid of our ugly green plaid loveseat 2 years ago!
Not sure where this will all lead...

Remember the Bingo prize I stole from Nathan?


Our Christmas Together











This is one of Claire's favorite things to do!!  She LOVES to sit at the computer and type out a story.  Sometimes she makes it into a book.  Sometimes she adds illustrations.  Other times, she writes a story or poem by hand.  This past year, this has been her almost constant pastime.  We all can't wait to see books she writes and illustrates some day!
