Mama!

For my birthday, I asked for something homemade. I was delighted to receive this beautiful bouquet of flowers!

We've been trying to beat the winter blues by staying active and enjoying the great outdoors as much as possible. Having some wonderful Christmas gifts, and two January birthdays in our family, sure helps a lot, as well. We can't wait to head home to Freddy to celebrate Cale's 6th birthday on the 29th.

Some of my friends have been posting an 'All About Mom' interview on facebook lately, so I thought I'd give it a try with Caleb. The idea is to ask the questions and let the kids respond completely unprompted. Haha! What a great memory. I'll have to try this again in a couple of years.

Winter hiking with friends. We stopped for a snack and even built a fire on the snowy beach.

Somebody likes to rock!
