January is over!

I always find it funny that there is so much to blog about from August (start of school) until the new year, but then we hit January and life seems so boring! Sadly, I hardly have any pictures of January.  It doesn't mean we've been hiding in our house the whole month, it just means we have been living life with not anything really exciting going on.  I was surprised how fast January went by.  Usually it drags on forever.  Maybe the fact that we didn't have snow on the ground and that is has been mild and sunny helped! 

We spent January trying to get back into our routine of having Nate gone for work.  It's always hard after having him home the whole month of December, but such is life.  Nate and the boys got some skiing in, but it hasn't been great because of the lack of snow.  I had to get my eyes checked out after having some blurriness issues and have since had to quit wearing my contacts and got new glasses.  I have a Rx of drops to hopefully solve my eye issue and should be back into contacts in a few weeks.  Such a roller coaster. 

The most excitement came at the end of January with my Dad celebrating his 70th birthday!  I am still in shock that he is 70 because he still seems like the dad he was when I was growing up.  He has aged well. :) We had a fun birthday party for him on Sunday.  

Now we are on to February still with no snow and very warm weather.  So, my flowers have decided to come up really early.  I just hope it doesn't turn cold and snow on them! It sure feels like March not February!
