"Come live with me and be my love,/ And we will all the pleasures prove,/ That valleys, groves, hills and fields,/ Woods or steepy mountains yields." --Christopher Marlowe (1564-1593)

Mixing it Up for February

We are welcoming several changes of routine around here for February. Nate's mom has come to visit for the entire month, renting a house about 20 minutes from us. She's taking Claire to all kinds of great toddler activities in the mornings--art, dance, play groups, and Claire loves going to visit at Nema's house. I'm having some time to myself for long walks and a bit more reading. Plus, we have a very willing and FREE babysitter! Nate and I are taking advantage with some ski outings, and tonight we plan to go to the movies for the first time in years. It's great fun having a grandparent just down the road.

We've had snow on the ground more than normal this year, meaning we've added sledding to our regular routine. There's a perfect hill on our property just behind the house, and Claire is loving it!

One way to get up the hill (she actually like this)...

Laughing the whole way down...
So cute at the bottom!
