Spring

Spring!  Woohoo!  We enjoyed our first day avoiding falling branches due to the weight of the snow.  We found some great places for sledding though!

View outside our window.

We lost power so...here we are melting snow to make sure we have enough water for the day.  It was actually kind of fun cooking over the stove.  I enjoyed the challenge. (For the 2 days)  It also made me very aware of the hard work that many people still do to prepare their food.

My husband's ingenious refrigerator...if our power didn't turn on the next day.

More sledding before the snow melts.

Michael turned 4 years old on Monday!  He asked for spaghetti for his birthday dinner.  Here he's wearing the birthday gift Isaac made for him (his birthday hat).

Three months ago, out of the blue, Michael asked for some "goggles".  I thought he meant goggles for swimming, but he informed me he wanted the kind that pilots wear on "Tora, Tora, Tora" (for those that don't know, Tora, Tora, Tora is a WWII movie...when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor).  So we had to get him an authentic leather pilot helmet as well. :)
