Winter Beauty

I love the way a wet snow clings to the trees. I've been meaning to take some pictures of our snowy backyard from the second story for quite some time but the window screens do a great job of ruining a beautiful picture. This morning I finally took the screens out and snapped some pictures.

Good part---I avoided dropping the screens from the second story window.

Bad part---Mike was less than thrilled with my opening the bathroom window and snapping pictures while he tried to take a shower. (He should just be glad I only took pictures of things outside the bathroom.) I told him to just remember that he's Finnish and I'm giving him the cold/hot sauna experience.

Lilly's First Violin Concert

Here is Lilly's first violin concert. She did great. Hopefully this is the first of many violin concerts that I will attend.
