Just a journal post

This blog is a journal for me.  As a matter of fact, as a Christmas surprise, Robert printed the first two years of my writings into a book for me.  I realize that some of what I write might not be interesting to most, but along with my opinions and wanderings, it is also a history of my days.

What a fun weekend I had!  For the second time, I was able to go to my friend Teresa's cabin with her and my friend Annie from Friday morning until Saturday evening.  All we really did was eat and talk, but oh how I love and admire these women!  I felt like a sponge, soaking up all of their wisdom and light and having a lot of good laughs while doing it.  AND we got to ride in Annie's bi#@%-in new orange Jeep!  When I got home, Robert and Hunter showed me a movie trailer they had made for Hunter's book report project on the Hunger Games.  It was INCREDIBLE!  I am so thankful for what an amazing dad Robert is to our kids, how much time and effort he puts into relationships and memories with them.

Christian arrived home a short time after me, bathed in colored chalk.  He had attended something called "The Festival of Color" with his friends.  It's basically this giant mass of people that get together, play Indian music really loud and chuck colored chalk at each other.  It makes me so happy that he has friends that are as good, fun, and smart as him.  I love having them over to our house often for loud and rousing games of Monopoly or Risk.  They are so polite, and find such fun in innocent things.



Me with Annie's awesome Jeep.  Yes, I felt very cool.

The Wyoming cabin we stayed at, tucked behind the trees.  It snowed almost
the whole time we were there.

Love this field of windmills on our way up to the cabin.

This is part of Elisabeth's school project on the snow leopard.  I am so proud of how artistic
and talented Elisabeth is,  just like her Daddy.  This is an oil pastel drawing that she did for her project.  Way to go
Elisabeth!!

I didn't know you did that this weekend, how fun! Once again, this is the fourth of your five children who have already surpassed my artistic abilities hahah! I could not draw a picture that good if my life depended on it.

That was a fun weekend. I'm glad you got to get away and relax with your good friends. I hope we can get a cabin someday in the woods.

That movie was a lot of fun to make and really turned out good. Now my kids are all famous!

Ahhh! That was great! I just watched your Hunger Games Movie clip. The link didn't work on my Ipad earlier, but it works on my computer fine. Very professional. It looks like it was a lot of fun.
