Sledding in a winter wonderland

In keeping with the sledding off into the unknown motif, here's some shots of our last day of Christmas Break.  The boys, having made the decision to homeschool, seemed lighter on the feet because of it.  Even our oldest cut loose and joined the silly fun.

Mom takes the little one down the first time around, just to make sure.

Next up, our oldest gets the privilege of sledding with our angel.

Success!  But getting up the slick hill was easier said than done.

Our 8th grader, ready to brave the slopes with his baby brother.

From what I can tell, they had fun.

And speaking of fun, I think our 7th grader is the one having it.

Yes, he's actually like that most of the time.

The older three goofing around.

Wondering when he will have a chance to go solo.

It wasn't pretty, but it worked.


The family in all their intense glory.

And there he goes!  He did great!

Competitive to the last, I can't remember who won.

Did I mention he's always like that? 

In keeping with the spirit of a new adventure, even I got into the act.

Back home, the younger two make a snow model of Helm's Deep from Lord of the Rings.

Our 8th grader had already decided to use the snow mounds to mold into the Misty Mountains.

Our oldest's melancholy. solitary walk illustrates the more somber realization of what we're up against.
Please Pray for us!
