Looking at the frost one morning through a magnifying glass. It was L-man's idea and now he's obsessed.
Reading books with Daddy is a big highlight.
Sunrises. Once again, L-man noticed it first and told me to take a picture. :)
Our weather these days has been light-jacket sunshine ...
... to an ice/sleet/rain storm. This wasn't anything compared to what we had in Ohio, but for down here in NC it was a big deal.
Grocery stores were packed, everyone stocking up for the winter weather alert. It was only a little funny. :)
It brought the closest thing next to snow that we've seen since moving here!
The working conditions were a little rough.
Ryan's schedule has been crazy this month, and he amazes me every day with his abilities to push through. I got sick last week which really threw me for a loop (and the house). But just this past Saturday we both were willing and able to go on a fun family outing to the Nature Museum.
The butterfly room was my personal favorite. And if L-man weren't so excited to see what was always around the next corner I imagine we could have spent a long time here.
The kids loved it, and I loved doing something with Ry.
Compared to the previous couple of months, the month of January has been down-right slow and hard. But we have still found ways to connect, and have had lots of fun. It has been a great time to lay low, get sick, read lots of books, and cuddle a lot.
I think we need a good couple of days with sunshine and I will feel the energy of life again. Right now we're taking it easy. :)
