Howdy Everyone!

Of course, I promised myself that I would post new pictures and videos by the time I sent out the Christmas cards and I’m running a little behind on all of it.  I have no idea where the time goes!  Don’t worry; the laundry, dusting, vacuuming, and grocery shopping aren’t getting done either.  I’m fully neglecting everything.  Tis the Season, right?

I just wanted to take a moment to catch up with some moments from 2009.

Rohm’s Likes:

Putting things in bags
Carrying those bags around
Putting rocks in buckets
Pushing strollers and carts at the store (although she can’t see where she’s going)
Spitting water out of her mouth onto the floor from her highchair (not one of my favorites)
Pouring water from one cup to another
Snowmen
Trains
Airplanes
Imitating absolutely everything mom and dad do

Rohm’s Dislikes:

Sitting on Santa’s lap, until he gives her a peppermint sucker, then it’s all good
When Frosty leaves at the end of the story (cries real tears)
Jack Frost (from the Frosty video, Dad taught her he was mean)
Oh when you try to do anything for her

Last Sunday, the Ware family went up to Larch Mountain.  Our plan was to jog up the closed street until we reached the snow so we could build a snowman.  In theory, it was a beautiful plan.  As we started to jog, I’m sure it was less than 5 minutes before I was convinced my lungs were bleeding, a combination of asthma and the altitude (It had nothing to do with the fact that I’m used to jogging on a treadmill in a cozy gym in front of the TV).  Adam was pushing a 32+ pound baby in a jogger, I have no idea how he was doing it.  So we walked/jogged for about two miles and didn’t quite reach the snow.  As we decided to stop where we were and build a miniature snowman out of the snow piled in the ditch on the side of the road, it started to pour down rain.

So, soaking wet, we definitely jogged the two miles back to the car, without stopping, which was fabulous since it was downhill the entire way!  I could have used some wipers for me face though!  And throughout all of this we managed not to get shot since the only other person out there in the forest with us was a gunman who was engaging in an illegal target practice, we love the back country!

Happy Holidays to You and Yours!!

Love,

Adam, Gina, Rohm, Bea Bea, and the Kitties too!
