January was a good month. The new toys have not lost their magic yet and keep kids entertained still. We also had Will's sister and her family come visit everyone here too! Catherine does great doing puzzles. She got a few new ones for Christmas and loved putting them together both the 24 piece ones and the 48 or 50 something ones too. She does it all on her own! Julia Will's sister gave us a bunch of sprinkles and such because she was getting ready to move overseas. This inspired Elsie to make a cake and decorate it of course. Elsie got some perler beads for Christmas and then we got her a big tray to make them on. She and Adah made the parrot design this new tray came with. Catherine has been terrified by this rope bridge for a while but this was her first time across it and she did great!
We had a lot of fun With Charity and her two boys and husband! They came for a long weekend and we were able to do lots of fun stuff. It snowed a lot again and that Saturday they were there we crept along on the roads all over the place in order to hit all the fun spots. The highlights included the ice castle and the natural history museum.
We have been making it to the library story time more often which has been fun for Catherine. Adah has also started a sewing block of the month class at a local quilt shop. She gets the fabric and pattern for four small new blocks each month and by the end of the year she will have enough blocks for a quilt! The only other thing going on is Will's new job. He and his dad, step mom and brother bought a business here! It is a lot of work getting started and organizing things but it is going great. He is also working part time on his hotel job still so life has been a little crazy! But we are excited for the change and hopefully the opportunities it gives us.
