Fresh Start

I get immense satisfaction from getting rid of excess. Ah, Simplicity! After the holidays I am usually feeling like something that resembles a sloth. When it's all over, after all of the good food and presents, I am always glad that Christmas is only once a year. Even though it is only January, at the start of the year I always seem to get that "spring" cleaning itch. And so, the purge begins. Christmas decor down, check. Closet clean and old clothes gone, check. Trying to organize our brick box, half check. The brick walls in our loft may be starting to mess with my brain; I love them, but the constant dim light and dust are making me a little crazy. And so, may this year be filled with peace, adventure, good wine, and a lot of white...

Best of 2014

    2014 in pictures, the best way to wrap up a great year..... here's to 2015!

Wyoming Christmas

Is there any better way to spend Christmas than with feet and feet of snow? I don't think so. We spent an amazing week in north western Wyoming, snow shoeing, sledding and exploring. 

It snowed pretty much the entire trip, and since out cabin was in a canyon, there was no wind, so the snow just piled up, like heaps of powdered sugar.

Our warm hearth

These cute dudes, and I am sorry to say that all I could think about was getting them as blankets...

hanging out

I'm not sure on what was more impressive on our sleigh ride, the elk or out two 19-hand tall draft horses

Sherman and Tank

It was cooooollllld, thank goodness they had blankets in the sleighs

One of my favorite things about the snow was having a comfy chair wherever you went

Not quite like Kansas City

Best, and cutest bakery? Check this place out if you are in Jackson Hole

Not a bad way to end the day

I wanted to stop this treck much earlier, but Zach convinced me to keep on going, and I am so glad I did.

Pretty much how every afternoon went...

Bambi's dad stopped to say hi

Picture Update

It has taken a while for the Christmas spirit to hit us this year, but I think we are finally there. It seems like we just arrived back from Wyoming and now are are leaving Sunday to go back again, to a different part, a different family. It shall be grand. Here are a few pics from the last couple of weeks. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
