Broken

I wanted to start this painful post with a sweet picture of Lily.  
I hiked up to poo poo point on January 8th.  I took this picture at the top where it was super icy.  I turned to head down and fell breaking my wrist.  
All wrapped up. Headed to surgery
 
Healing  

Happy Birthday Thomas!

Tommy's adventures has brought him back to Bellingham.  
We got to go up and celebrate Tommy's 22nd birthday.
Happy Birthday Thomas!

Happy New Year! 2017

Cassie set our festive table


We got ready for the new year with a Mexican fiesta dinner made by Susan.  


The kids watched a movie and then we counted in the new year.


Lily is ready to party.  She has on her party hat and shoes.  
Henry and Gus have already started to party.


Snow....to begin the new year.

Our new years day activity was vision boards
Here is Susan's and Madison's.  They both have great sayings on their boards  

Bradley's and Calvin's are very much alike with sea creatures.  
Joeys is on the end and its meaning is the following:  He will spend hundreds of years travelling the world; learning all there is to know. He will learn every language, he will read every book, he will know every land. he will spend thousands of years, creating stunning works of art. He will learn to meditate to control all pain. As wars will be fought, and great loves found, and lost, and found, lost, and found, and found, and found and memories built upon memories, until life runs on an endless loop. He will father hundreds of thousands of children whose own exponential offspring he will slowly lose track of, though the years. Whose millions of beautiful lives, will all, eventually, be swept again from the Earth. And still, Bill will continue. He will learn more about life, than any being in history, but death will forever be a stranger to him. People will come and go, until names lose all meaning, until people lose all meaning and vanish entirely from the world, and still Bill will live on. he will befriend the next inhabitants of the Earth; beings of light, who revere him as a god. And bill will outlive them all, for millions and millions of years, exploring, learning, living. Until the Earth is swallowed beneath his feet. Until the sun is long since gone. Until time loses all meaning, and the moment comes that he only knows the positions of the stars, and see's them whether his eyes are closed or open. Until he forgets his name, and the place he'd once come from. He lives, and he lives, until all of the lights, go out. 
From the movie It's such a beautiful day 
Here you can see Cassie's, Sarah's and Hailey's
