We Brought Home a Trailer!!!!

And it's in Boise!!! So from the farm party, we took off for Boise on Sunday morning, on our way to get the trailer. It was a long--BEAUTIFUL--drive, and the man who sold it to us was so helpful. We left there in the early evening, hoping to get to Pendleton before we stopped for the inaugural night in the trailer.  We did make it there...in the dark, around 9PM...in SNOW.  First back-in attempt by our family was between two banks of snow that had been plowed out of our spot.  I was worried about propane running out all night--hello, HEATER!--so I'd wake every time i got a little cold and would fall asleep as soon as I heard the heater turning on.  We skipped school on Monday to bring it home the rest of the way, and found a good spot in our driveway to place it.  Kind of blocks the view from the kitchen window, but I'm just thinking of all the sweet sunsets we'll see when we use it.  Good work, Team Lochhead!

Adventures with our favorites, the Van Sickles!  

Mental Health Day on Mt. Spokane

Jeff had a semester break day at the end of January and spent it going snowshoeing on Mt. Spokane!  These were the pictures he kept sending me throughout the day.  A great mental-health day:  fresh air, endorphins, and time to think about anything and everything!

And that night Chicken Little was busy helping with the dishes again...

...and we had a family movie night.  Freshly-aired (and exhausted) Daddy only lasted ten minutes.  :)

And I have to include a similar picture that was taken just fourteen months earlier:

Ahhh...time is flying by WAY. TOO. FAST.
