days 8-10

This past weekend was our first weekend without the show! We didn't quite know what to do with ourselves... but in the end we did manage to fill the time :-)

With Saturday afternoons free, Clara was able to rejoin the tap class she had wanted to take with her friend back in November. She was so excited about it that she got her shoes out the night before and had them all ready to go....

Saturday was a bitterly cold day, so while Jeff and I were sitting around staring at our fireplace we got the brilliant idea to actually light it!
We have lived here three years now and finally added the gas logs this fall, yet we had still not actually used the fireplace.... until now.

Sunday after church, Jeff said that he was going to go for a run.... Clara said that she wanted to go too. We tried to talk her out of it given that the temp was in the teens and the windchill was around -2, but she insisted...
Jeff took her around a few blocks and then dropped her back off at home before continuing on with his run.

Well... I should get going so I can gear myself up for our busy week ahead!
