Today was a priceless family fun day. We spent the day sledding, making snow angels, throwing snowballs, and we upgraded our little snowman to a snow family. We all had a blast.

Today it snowed and we had a bunch of fun. The three of us went sledding, and then we made a couple snowmen.

The Midwest had a big storm come through this week. It didn't hit my house really that bad, but ice hit pretty hard in the Springfield area. My Mom, Sister, Dad, and Uncle all lost power. I went down to see how I could help out and took some pictures of the devastation. My Dad's house appears to have taken the strongest hit. He had some pretty large trees dropping branches.

I've offered my home as a refuge, but for some reason they would prefer to manage the best they can down there. It's going to make some cold evenings for them, so please remember them in your prayers. more...
Here is Dad's house:

This little guy was very entertaining. He had hidden some nuts in the tree and found some time to snack on them. Once the woodpecker started to divebomb him he ran away.

Today marks one year that I've been divorced. It has went well and we are at peace, but honestly, not near as good as I would like. I was hoping I would have a much better relationship with her. We were once best friends, but now she feels more like an acquaintance. Her new boyfriend has added a lot of division, and it's been a little difficult. I don't know what else to really say. Just thinking of her today.

We've been working hard cleaning up a large junk/wood pile on our land. Kyla helped Ang and me stack wood and clean.

I spotted two deer tonight with my night vision. Kick ass! It was like shining a flashlight right on them.
