It's Been Forever



...and I guess that's all that really needs to be said. I'm guessing your life is busy enough, you don't really need to hear why I havn't written in so long.

On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, since Matt had the day off and it's been so freezing cold around here, we decided to go ice skate on the pond near our home. Matt took our little fire pit thingy along and we made hot chocolate over a fire. It was tons of fun...minus falling HARD on my rear. I'm such a chicken on ice.

Here are some pictures.

So cute. I love Darci eating the snow the whole time. I am telling you, she and Will are so similar. Will does the same thing when we are in snow...just constantly eating it.

Great pics Bek. What a fun idea. I would have been right with Aria - by the fire, sipping the cocoa :-)
