Sledding Videos February 2015

Snow Day!

Last night we got about 6" of snow, unfortunately followed by ice! But we still had lots of fun playing today. The ice made the sledding hill in our neighborhood really fast. We all took turns going down, but Jered and Will went down the most. Will was tirelessly up and down with the sled, then stayed out to have a snowball fight with his school friends after we went inside.

Valentine's Day 2015

Valentine's Day this year was much better than last year, but almost ended up the same! Will had the stomach flu from Thursday until Tuesday, when he was able to return to school. Then Emma had a high fever Wednesday night and Thursday and had to miss her tea party at school. It was very sad because she had been counting the days for the last two weeks, and was just devastated to miss it. She asked me to email a picture of her party dress to her teacher. However, she was better by Friday morning (and never threw up, yay!), and was able to go the class pizza party on Friday. Will's class also had a Valentine's pizza party on Friday. Tuesday night the kids wrote out their Valentines to every kid in the class. I was especially proud of Emma, who wrote all her own Valentines. When Will was her age, I still had to help him, but she enjoys writing more (and has better handwriting!). On Saturday, Emma's ballet studio had a Parent's Night Out Valentine Party for the kids, so Jered and I were able to drop them off and go on a date. We ended up going to Keagan's Irish Pub and Restaurant at the Virginia Beach Town Center. It was good food, and a fun date! We also enjoyed a nice snow storm this week, although we are not enjoying the highs in the 20s, and the wind chill below zero!

 

 

 

First Snow of 2015

The big snow storm that hit the Northeast Coast Monday night brought us just enough snow to have a snowball fight and make a teeny snowman this morning.

We spent Christmas and New Year's Eve in Corpus Christi, Texas. For the first time in many years, Jered was able to take more than a week off, so we had a more relaxing trip. On the way home, we even got to spend a day in Charlotte, NC with some of our Brandenburg cousins.
