The long Ohio winter.....



When we moved to Ohio over a year ago now, I never dreamed the winters would last so long. I never thought I would long so much for the sunshine, or to just be able to go outside without 30 layers of clothing on. Clint however, loves to get dressed up in his warm clothes to go "play in the snow"...even if it only last for 10 minutes, and he's back inside begging for a warm bath!!



We knew after our first winter here, that it was just too long and too cold to be here for the whole 4 months of the season, so last fall we decided that we would all pack up, board a plane and head west for Christmas. It was so nice to be out of the cold for several weeks and to get to spend some much needed quality time with our families! The kids spent the entire time with their cousins, and without their coats. The weather was amazing for us!! We even got to have Christmas dinner outside on the patio!



Kate got the cutest pics of Clint and LayneeBug playing together in the grass.....





We were also able to update the Hall family photo this year, since everyone made it home for Christmas...



Not too bad for a timer and a tripod!!!

Now that we're back home, its back to the cold and snow....There is an end in sight though, and before long we will be LOVING the beautiful spring and summer and all that Ohio has to offer. Along with a new baby, we have a lot coming up in the next few months. Until then, we will cherish the days the sun shines and make the most of the days it doesn't.
