winter days

Like most everyone else, we have been stuck inside the house for the past few days because of the cold and rainy weather. So our activities have looked a lot like this....reading...lots of reading! Here Quinn is reading Mercy Watson Fights Crime...one of our recent faves.

...and yesterday I caught her reading Junie B. Jones all by herself! We have also been building forts...

..and jumping on the bed...both my kids love to jump on the bed...and it is NOT against the rules at our house. I can't think of a better way to spend some energy when they are cooped up!

Oxford girls trip 2011 to Birmingham

There are some people in life that you have known forever...and these are my girls! I feel so fortunate to still be in contact with them and occasionally we all get to go on a fun trip and reconnect.  This trip we went to Birmingham and ate at several wonderful restaurants and shopped at the Summit. They are all so precious to me and when we get together, we often laugh until we cry. Can't wait to do it again!
