Slip Sliding Away

That seems to be the theme for us the past couple of weeks, since we've been getting snow at regular intervals. There are a few men in this household who anxiously await each storm so they can test their driving skills. It isn't very fun to have a 4X4 and not use it, right? They have even suggested, on numerous occasions, to take the Scion out and see how it does in the snow! Because of budget constraints our city postpones plowing until there's 4" of snow or during regular business hours. So, yeah, I have been able to hone my winter driving skills as well. Jordan (with the help of his brothers) built a small snow ramp and jump in the back yard. This reminds Mark of the snow jump they built off of the porch roof when he was a kid.

Maisey loves to be out in the snow also, until she accumulates big snowballs on her fur. She's very fond of chasing snowballs.

We had a wonderful Christmas; enjoyed the food WAY too much, and also enjoyed gathering together with our family and friends. All good things must come to an end. It's time to get back to the real world. Our calendar for January is already crammed full with activities, appointments, etc. To top that off, I've got my 2009 goals to work on. For Christmas I got Photoshop Elements 7 and all I want to do is play with it (that happens to be one of my goals, by the way). Hopefully, I'll be able to post some really great jpgs here soon.
