This and That

DISCLAIMER

This blog is where I record a limited depiction of my feelings, family, and faith. My blog was recently under intense scrutiny, and so I feel this disclaimer is necessary. I try to tell my story as openly as I can, but this blog represents a cropped and narrow-viewed version of my story -- like all social media -- it is NOT the full story. Many events happen behind the scenes that are not recorded or written about, due to the sensitive nature of others involved. Life has many layers. Many layers can be shared and many cannot, and this blog is simply a layer of my life that I allow others to view, but it is not an accurate depiction of all the layers of my life.

This and That

The kids were super-duper lucky. Daddy took them to see The Hobbit, on Saturday. They saw it in 3-D IMAX. Their review was that it is amazingly awesome, beyond belief. Charles thought it was better than The Lord of the Rings -- and that is saying a lot! I have not gone, yet, but I plan to, sometime this week! I am way excited to see it! I had heard lame reviews from some movie critics, but Charles said they were a bunch of bunk, and that it is everything it is supposed to be . . . Yes, my precious.

We are getting ready for Christmas day around here. I have thoroughly enjoyed having all the lights and and trees in our home -- it will be hard to take them down! Many nights have been spent in front of the lights, dreaming into the tree.

This is a picture of the back of my dad's head. My parents had some of their new friends over (The Roses) to watch the Canadian Tenors. And then my dad introduced them to the Piano Guys videos... Press the play button, you won't regret it. :-)

I captured the moment 12:12:12 PM on 12/12/12. I almost missed it, it was close. :-)

Sammi had her holiday band concert. They were pretty good. Sammi is one of two girls in band. (She's playing the saxophone.) The band is super small, and their teacher seemed really young to me? I guess I am getting old!

Random Henry cuteness.

We like to watch movies, and the kids like to cuddle-up by the fire. Yes, that is chocolate on William's face.

Daddy was having a sweet moment with Henry, I tried to capture it, but it was dark.

It "snowed" so the kids made a 4 inch snowman

Cute, huh?

They went around to the front yard, and used almost all the snow, so they could make a little bit bigger one. Such a happy snowman . . . for 10 minutes, before he melted.

They will never know the joy of playing in the snow, like I did. Growing-up in Alaska, it is all about snow! Just look at ALL that snow! It was crazy!
