What a COLD journey!!

We've been spending some time enjoying a late Christmas visit with family the past several days.  It has been SO cold though!!  Temperatures that don't go above freezing, and it's windy...just not so appealing.

We took the boys duckpin bowling yesterday.  What a great time with my sister and niece.  Pretty sad that Allyssa and I came in 6th & 7th place though (as in, we pulled up the rear).  The winners?  Ben and Sam, tied at 85 each!  Did I mention we also used bumpers?  Yeah, that's right.  We are stellar bowlers in this family.

The kids are really enjoying some time with grandparents.  Over the course of the trip, they'll get to spend time with both Aaron's parents and mine.  We also get to see 2 great-grandmothers this week.  What a blessing that they can be so surrounded by family.  I love living in VA.  It keeps us close enough to visit all of this wonderful family we have without too much struggle.  Other options for Aaron's industry are Texas and the west coast, so it's definitely great for us here.

Now, if we could just put in an order for nice warm temps when we return to VA, that'd be great.  For now, we're shivering on this journey north!!

  1. Visiting with family is great! My in-laws are in town for a couple days and the kids are having a wonderful time. My brother will be here in a few days, and then my parents will be here in a couple weeks. It's nice having all of them come to us too (the plus side of living somewhere warm when they live where it's cold).
