MudMen

How could one resist the challenge to make a snow mudman?? 

Meet Abe Lincoln!

Can I just say how much I enjoy living in Virginia! There are always so many wonderful things happening around the state and the history opportunities are endless. This weekend we went to celebrate the 350th anniversary of Stafford, Virginia! While there we met some very important people. Keely was a bit shy for the day, but Brayden did not hesitate to give his best high five for Mr. Lincoln!

We are bringing in the new year with new milestones! We've waited 5 years to get here but we're looking forward to many more adventures ahead. We took an impromptu trip to Massanutten Resort. The kids did really well and Brayden was the biggest surprise of all catching on pretty quickly. He of course was ready to go from baby steps to sprints asking to go ahead and go to the top of the mountain while we had to explain we weren't quite ready for that. But allowed him to go on his own while we would sprint for our lives stayed cautiously next to him. Keely had some difficulty understanding the concept of balancing but with time and practice she will get there. They had a great time and are eager for more. I'm just thankful we ALL survived! Ready for more family memories to be made :)
