Mom was a crazy woman. She has been trying to get a million things done before her school started. She did get a lot done - including rearranging the "office" in the basement - now zac and I have our own computer! And yesterday she started back at school, a full load of classes. It has been so warm that we have been using our trampoline like crazy, and riding bikes to school, and mom even rode her bike to school from a friend's house that is near her school (our house is about 25 miles from her school). Izaac is doing great in school, learning to write (something he really hasn't been interested in), but he knows all his letters, upper and lower case, even though he pretends to not know. I am still loving school (studying penguins and got to have a penguin party - wore black and white) and am finally getting more agreable about practicing the piano - mom thinks i have just taken a little step up, and am getting a little bit better, which makes it more fun!
We got to go to breckenridge for a couple days to go sledding and see the ice carving. We went with our friends, and had a great time.
It was going to be freezing again later today, so mom ran and I rode my bike to school, cause it was warmer this morning than it will be this afternoon. It might be a little while again before it warms up.

A great month!
We have had a great holiday season!
Zac and I got out of school just around the last time we wrote (mid dec), and we had lots of stuff to do. We baked cookies, got all the gifts wrapped and ready to give, had dinner at our friend kate and steve's, went to holiday parties, went to the butterfly pavilion with some new friends from mama's school, and had lots of fun. We got to catsit our friend's cat for a week, which zac and I loved, but mom was very firm about not getting our own cat.
We celebrated winter solstice at home, santa brought us some nice gifts, and then had christmas eve with our cousins, aunts, uncles, grandma and jiddo. It warmed up enough right around christmas to go ice skating on christmas eve (forgot the camera). It was warm for the holidays, and for new years eve, when we got to spend the night at grandma's and jiddo's house, while mom and dad went out for a long awaited date.
January was all about getting back in to the swing of school after being off. I've been doing indoor soccer still, had a break from piano - today will be my first day back, and izaac hasn't done much of anything....
We finally got to go sledding on monday - it finally snowed, and it wasn't SO cold. All the other snowy days have been absolutely freezing, so finally monday we got home from picking up zac from school, got our sleds and were out the door, dressed and all in about 15 mins. Mom was so happy the days of taking 45mins to get two kids ready for playing in the snow are over. I got myself completely ready, snow pant, boots, hat, gloves - all of it. Yay! We never got to ski this year - we had such a short break, and weekends are impossible cause mom or dad is at work, so we will try again later. Mom is a little sad, so going sledding made her happy.
The good news is we will be in Tucson in march - mom and dad both have holidays approved, and it'll be a good 2week vacation! yay
