Playdates and rainy walks

We're doing our best to get the kids some playdates *mask/outside and taking advantage of this nicer weather. 

Avi just climbed right up to the top! (fearless)

If you  look closely, there's a rainbow

 

February 2021 Snow Storm

Just when the crocuses started to bloom.... we got hit with so much snow!  The kids had a blast and it was gone in a few days.  It's the first time we were able to really go sledding on our property.  Poor Hannah had an ice storm down in Salem (no fun) and then lost power for 10 days!  We were fortunate to not have any snow related issues and just got to have fun!

2021 Baking Challenge: January

I know I need to rein it in a little bit, and I will, but baking is getting me through these dark, cold winter months and my new cookbook is presenting itself as a challenge to learn some new recipes.  My new years resolution is to bake something new each month. I tried 4 new recipes in January:

English muffins

Cannolis 

Coffee-Coffee cake

Chocolate wave cake
