Back to Our "Other Life"

We made it back after a long break. Nick started school on Tuesday and is back to the books for now. The weather is nicer here . . . no snow and warmer! I love the snow, but not when it lasts until May. We went on lots of sleigh rides over the break, which the girls love, even when the temperature is in the teens! Nick also rigged up the sled/tube to the 4-wheeler and took the girls on lots of rides. We got to spend lots of time with Nathan and Alisa before we came back, which was great! The girls adore them. We got to spend Alisa's birthday with her and had fun (Lucy kept us entertained and laughing), sadly I have no pics as my camera only works when it wants to. Darn thing. We also had a visit from Jake and Heather which was fun. We took them tubing behind the 4-wheeler out in the field. Jake lost his wallet. Miraculously Nick found it later. Here are a few pictures . . .

The crazy Kate on her horse.

This is hilarious! Lucy and Kate call Grandpa Bailey for bedtime stories. I noticed it was really quiet, so I went and checked on them and found this! So sweet. Grandpa put them right to sleep!

Kate enjoying a smore. And yes, we roasted smores right in our little kitchen. How fun is that?! Lucy said over and over "This is so cool, can we do this again sometime?" Thanks for sharing Nathan and Alisa!

A very cold winter day on the sleigh. Well, we'll be back to our "other life" in approximately 83 days. No wait, I forgot there's a horsepull in a couple weeks, we couldn't miss that. =)
