January is a long, dark month. It’s always nice to get the Christmas things put away, but then I start itching for spring and it’s still months off. We had lots to keep us busy though, so the time whizzed by and now as I write this it is already February 7th and I am behind on blogging again! Here are my favorite pics from January in chronological order.

It’s Daddy paddle boarding next to a lighthouse. I added the birds and the whale, the rest is all his.

Kieron has been reading to Silas at night lately. When it doesn’t end up in wrestling it is super sweet!
