First Snowy Morning..

This morning, we awoke to a nice dusting of snow. Made our trek to school a bit of an adventure. The temp & winds are miserably cold, but the sun is shining..that's all that matters:)

Decembers..

Winter Sky

Technically not winter yet...but it definately feels like it outside. Last week we had some clear nights & I got this photo of the full moon out front.
Jack really wants a telescope for Christmas, but not sure if it will happen this year. We'd really like to get a nice one to use for many years to come. I think it would be fun for the whole family.

Bird Watching:)

Every winter..I notice the cardinals in front yard & think about how they almost glow in the winter among all the bare limbs.

Parents..

I was listening to npr last week & heard Eliot Glazer talking about his blog www.myparentswereawesome.com. It's basically a photo blog for people to email pictures of their parents....before they were parents. I scrolled through alot of the photos on the site, photos of long go, so nostaligic & interesting, since you are left to wonder about the story behind each photo. It got me thinking & wondering about my parents as teenagers & of how my kids naturally view me as mom & not so much as "Kelly."

It's easy to loose yourself alittle or alot in your kids. I definately see alot of myself in my kids, and that in itself is a good reminder of preparenthood. Does that make sense?? I guess what I'm saying is, I'm glad I heard the story of the blog & was reminded of my parents life prior to me & that they were pretty awesome:) And that your kids should hear about your life prior to them:)
