Here’s this week’s “tree photo.” You never know what will be happening in front of — or behind — the tree. This “post-blizzard” photo includes about two feet of snow in front of the tree, a snow tunnel underneath it and a few random snow boarders in the background! Check out how we’ve changed the…
Today was another snow day for most of the world, and the temps were in the single digits much of the day. But the sun was shining so brightly and reflecting off of the snow, making it gorgeous outside. I loved seeing all of the shadows in the snow. Once we finished our school work,…
As I’ve mentioned, we are studying life in Alaska as part of a class I’m teaching this semester about the Iditarod race. I really have no concept of what it would be like to live in a town that is so covered in snow the only way in or out is by snowmobile or dog-sled…
Last night was scary. The snow was coming down in a sheet. The wind was blowing about 50 p.m., causing the snow to swirl in every direction. The light pole in front of our house was shaking in the wind. And then the lightning would electrify the entire sky. But this morning? This is the…
I thought it might be a good idea to take some photos before the snow REALLY started. It had been snowing for a few hours when I took these photos. Of course, what boy could resist a game of football in the snow?
31/365 Today we got back to work on our radish-growing project. It’s always exciting to look inside our orange-juice carton to see how our seeds have grown. The kids have to plot the progress on a chart in their workbooks. Today, we also made mini planters to grown some other radish seeds. And we are…
30/365 Today was a crazy busy day, and yet, this is really the only photo I have to show for it! We have been doing a sermon series at church the past four weeks called, “Foundations,” and the whole series has a Lego theme. Each week, we have been bringing big bins of Lego, and…
Isn’t this a sight that makes your stomach leap into your chest? Or perhaps it makes your heart fall into your stomach? This is something we see frequently at our house. By frequently, I mean about 20 times a day. Every other baby in this family has learned at an early age to crawl down…
29/365 We are still covered in a blanket of snow on the last Saturday in January. Maybe February will bring some warmer temps? 3 of 52 2 of 52 1 of 52
29/365 I mentioned before that I am teaching a class at our co-op on the Iditarod race across Alaska. Just by chance, there was a demonstration at the arboretum this weekend on dog-sled racing and the Iditarod. We got together with another family that is in the class. Their two boys and our boys are…
