Might as well

Since the snow isn't going anywhere any time soon, we thought we would take time to enjoy it (again) while suffering from cabin fever.

 Our three snow angels!

Alyssa hasn't ever been sledding by herself...is today the day?????  Maybe after some help from Mamu (her newest term of endearment) and big brother.

 

After some practice and encouragement she tried NEXT to Brady, but ended up holding on to his sled the entire way down.

C'mon...you CAN do it!!!!

After a few more times going down, she felt very confident....Look Mamu...NO hands!!!  Maybe she'll be the one to ride a roller coaster with me!  It's been years since I've had anyone to enjoy those type of adventures.  I'll have to wait a few more years until she is a bit taller...but at least there is hope in sight!

Cole wasn't interested in the sled.  He has moved on to bigger better things!

Brady tried snowboarding, his feet were too big and even if they weren't, he doesn't have the coordination....sledding is fun too.

We are DONE with the snow.  We are ready for warmer weather, snowless yards and streets, normal school routines, baseball and tanning poolside!!!!

Run Tía Run!

Tsunami warning in Guatemala due to an 8.8 magnitude earthquake in Chile. 

And guess who is at the beach?

Put the drink down...quit laughing about it and RUN!! 

The gringos love you too much...RUN!

My tía Gladys is in the orange.  Pic taken in Guate last spring.

Happy Birthday Liza

I hope you enjoyed your birthday this year!

WHEN will it STOP???

We received about 10 inches last weekend...about another six today and some more tonight...and then I just heard on the news that we are expecting another large storm next week!  The only good thing about the snow is that we are home today from school....maybe (hopefully) tomorrow too!

Brian doing the neighborly thing and helping them dig out too.

Man down!!!

We're going sledding after dinner this evening before the high winds and even colder temps roll in.

Sure would like to be in Guatemala right now.  We received new  pictures today of baby Anika enjoying the sunshine with her mom (my cousin Lily) and her dad (Oscar).  We would wish we could be enjoying the sunshine and warm weather with mi familia en Guate.

  

Best emerging Latin artist...our very own GABY!

Check out Gaby's performance from this morning on a Philly news channel.  So cool to see her perform!

There is a quick 15 second advertisement at the beginning....Be sure to watch to the very end...she was put on the spot to play the song she wrote for Parks & Recreation...even though it is an instrumental!

Proud of you Gaby!!!  

Another song..this one is in Spanish..after the quick 15 second advertisement of course:  Quizás

Just because......

What a great way to warm my heart during these cold days in Ohio!
