January is a long, dark and dreary month in the PNW. Here’s how we passed it:

Jonathan and Silas took Everlong out for a quick day trip.

The new, covered magic carpet at Central

We bought a new piano!

Nana came to visit and celebrate Christmas together

Somehow it all morphed into a fitness competition between the kids

Plank off!

Making sour dough bread together

Chess night at Boy Scouts

It snowed! (Barely.)

Current home project: built in cabinets and shelves in the office

What cleaned pennies best? Ketchup and soy sauce were the winners.

Snow day!

This guy can’t wait to try out his snowboard

Pumping iron with our oldest

Aerial yoga classes

Spa night

Avery did swim team this season. Here’s the team honoring the seniors.
