Many Pieces of Fun
Now all that is left is to sit back and enjoy the season.
Last December we tackled a 1000 piece puzzle, we left it out on our dining table and little by little it got done. Sometimes we sat down for a little while, sometimes we just passed by and found a fit for one little piece. We obviously enjoyed it since we are repeating the experience .
This particular puzzle was given to grandma a couple years ago by our boys. She is now letting us have a go at it. There are three lab puppies amidst a lot of dry grass. It will be quite a challenge, but now we have the time and the determination.

Snow on our Shoes
Erika had never snowshoed before and it was amusing to think that a Brazilian girl was introducing an Alaskan gal to this sport. The beauty of it is, that it's an easy sport to learn; you just really need to know how to walk and you get a great workout. Actually, the beauty of it is, all the surroundings, the peace and the quiet.

Worth the Wait
All that was on his mind this morning was to go out and climb trees, but you know how it goes: "work before play."
He would have to wait a little longer . . .
We were able to redirect his thoughts towards his school work, which he completed in a very diligent and efficient manner.
And now he is free to roam and climb!
