Evan's B-Day! 1 Year Old!

Christmas 2008!

This year Karen suprised me by building furniture. Wow. She made a picture frame shelf as well as a corner bookshelf. She is quite the handywoman. I felt a little less manly as I made her a book compiling all of our past love notes to each other. A little bit of a role reversal this year....

Karen's mom Christy made us each cooking aprons. Karen's and Jordyn's are matching...Jordyn just can't wait to make cookies...
Jordyn got a tea set and table and immediately put it to use with her daddy. We're eating kitkat bars...
The biggest hit for Evan was a little squishy soccer ball...who says you need expensive presents.

Snow Days!

We got socked with snow almost everyday since last Wendnesday, by Thursday night we had two and a half feet...I think I hurt my back trying to shovel the snow out of the driveway. The plow went down our road only once with the excess snow pointed toward our driveway. It took almost five hours to shovel everything out the first day. I've been going out and shoveling again at least once and sometimes twice a day ever since.

Swing Dancing in Spokane

Last week Karen and I went swing dancing at Zola's a club located downtown Spokane. Karen was determined to have fun...and we did. It was great to be dancing again we haven't been in so long. For the past few years it has been very low on our family priority list. After re-connecting with it, we may just slide it back up the list.
