As promised, the snowlady pictures. These are from yesterday and she grew much bigger today, but I never made it out to take any pics. Will try to do that tomorrow while the kids are in school (fingers crossed).

Mickey's first English book
Mickey finished reading his first chapter book today, The Next-Door Dogs. Two (more) snow days gave him plenty of time to finish all 103 pages! I think this book came from my sister Kelly's childhood library, but Mickey seemed to enjoy it. He has now ventured on the Robinson Crusoe which I think he will really enjoy.
This is his "I love to read" face
Other accomplishments of the day included the boys spending a whole hour outside working on a snowlady (pictures to come later) and another frank discussion about the proper use of the toilet (please Lord, help this one to sink in b/c I am SOOOO tired of cleaning up messes).

Family Photo Shoot, Part Three
These photos were all taken under High Bridge, a railroad bridge that spans the Kentucky River just down the road from where we live. Our church is about a half-mile from the bridge.
Mom & Dad
Matt and his boys
Notice the train going across the bridge in the background.
A little Ethiopian pride!
Family Photo Shoot, Part Two
Essie & Chloe are definitely the photogenic ones in our family, so they just deserve their own post. So cute.
Family Photo Shoot, Part One
Our very talented friend Cydil (cydilwaggoner.com) took our family's photos a few weeks ago, and tonight we got to see the beautiful finished products. Here are some shots of our kids:

A New Year's Eve Christmas in Kentucky
We celebrated the Kinnell family tradition of a chili supper on New Year's Eve and added Christmas with that side of the family as a bonus. It was a wonderful day for the kids to receive roller blades - temps in the mid-50s and sunshine.
