Just an Update

Well, there's really nothing new to report. Unless you count me telling you - only 17 more days!!!! (you know what I mean)

As most of you know, last week (February 3) we had a real snow day. They even cancelled church, and we spent the day either in our jammies (the girls) or out helping friends and neighbors shovel (the boys). We got at least a foot of show on that day alone, and way too much on the surrounding days. The kids haven't seen snow like this in their whole lives. What a winter! Here are a few pictures of our snow day.



I love this picture of Erin. I guess she did get out of her jammies on this day!

Today Avery went to Kents to try to sell his bracelets. I was really proud of him. He talked to Jeff, and gave him some information and answered his questions. He had about 15 bracelets with him, and Jeff bought 10. Avery was so excited when Jeff came out and handed him a 50 dollar bill. I think that has motivated Avery to continue working. He has kind of slowed down a bit, but is excited now all over again.


For those of you who haven't seen, here is a picture of one of the most popular bracelets he makes -

Well, that's all for now. Thanks for checking in. Tomorrow Erin and I are headed to the dermatologist (again) to have her freckle removed (again). As you can see from the picture above, that cute little nose still has a cute little freckle. We'll keep you posted!

Avery - I am SO proud of you!!! You rock, I can't wait to help you out this summer. ;) I love that you are so talented in so many ways. You're great at everything, keep up the hard/great work!! You know I love you!!

Others - I love the snow shots. I can't believe the snow around the trees, isn't that crazy? That was the weirdest day ever, I must say. Like I told Colt, if it's gonna snow lots it may as well dump to make things interesting!

I still love Erins freckle, no matter the size! It's her trade mark and I've loved it from the time she was born. Does she still have the one on the middle finger? Is it on the left of right hand, I can't remember? Those were the little distinct things that I loved about her when she was just a bubby! ;)

Miss you all and I can't wait for summer!! (... or at least warm weather...)

Love Aunt STEF

Hey Foxes,-- Avery, Grandpa and I are so proud of you. He said that someday you would be selling them on e-bay. Way to go. One of these days, you'll have to hire a crew to work for you. We are just so happy. Now I'll have to go to Kent's in search of your bracelets.

Hey you all, I love these pictures. Erin, that is absolutely a beautiful picture of a beautiful girl. Love you all, Grandma and Grandpa Howard
