Jessee came home from school today and they learned about feelings. She is so tenderhearted. They talked about death. The teacher had them draw pictures of who they missed. She missed her Great Grandma Casper. She was only 6 when she died. She said she missed her and she cried. She said she was sad because her Grandma, my Mom didn't have her Mom anymore. Then we had the whole talk. She knows that she will be with her someday, but said Mom that is long time. It just reminds you to cherish those you love, because it might be a long time before we can see them again.

Just when you think there is a certain age where your kids are no longer interested in playing with the box instead of the present, well you might just be wrong. Here are the kids getting boxes for making dog houses. They ended up with windows, doors, garages, wallpaper and yes carpet. Don't you remember how fun it was to be a kid? They never cease to amaze me.

Lance had his first ski lesson. The Fifth Graders went on a ski trip. He wasn't allowed to take a camera so this is just a picture of him all bundled up after school. He had a lot of fun. He can't wait to go again.
