Ice Storm Chili

Venison chili with our families, from Sunday.

Amazing chili, by the way.  

Deer by Will, chili by Mama.

All's well here.  My days are full of the usual: helping little Ani with her first teeth, cooking gluten & dairy free, preschool lessons, staying warm. Hoping to get ahead of laundry again today; we'll see. :)

Come and Behold Him

Evening in December

The wheel turns and the ponies gallop, chiming the bells.

Our little floppy-eared reindeer boy.

(Wearing his loved 'exsavater s'jammis', or excavator jammies.)

The sunrises have been so beautiful.  And late, naturally--this morning's wasn't until 7:51a.

Duluth Snapshots

 A few welcome days away with Caleb's family in Duluth.
We stayed in a cabin on the shore of Lake Superior.
I so love these moody waters.

We were able to tour Glensheen Mansion.  A real delight to see.

We had the fun of taking the kids to a zoo for the first time!
