Let's Get Funsical!!
Skyler has been part of a "class" called Funsical - which is hard to describe. It makes me think a lot of P.E. in elementary school. Each class is a different activity or theme. Today was Circus activities (they walked like Elephants, galloped like horses, pretended to walk on the high wire, etc.) And then they did bowling - which I got this cute little video of!
December/January Recap!
It's been ages since I updated - I don't really have an excuse. I suppose for the most part, our lives are pretty routine and there's not a ton to share! But, the more I think about it? December was a bit crazy! So, here's a photo recap of our last two months!!
DECEMBER 2012
My sister was the Queen of her Madrigal Dinners at Wayne State! I got to ride up with my parents to watch the dinner, and it was a lot of fun! (I even got in a few of the photos!!)
Three days later? I drove up with my parents again to see her Senior Honors Colloquium. (See, I know big words!! More importantly? People in Wayne Nebraska know big words!)
Then we drove back to Wayne (2 days later) for her Graduation! (CONGRATS KID SISTER!!)
And then, Ryan got home and we turned around to head BACK to Nebraska for Christmas!
Total Drive time now? (December 21?) 55 hours! BUT WAIT!! We have a trip to Iowa, a trip back to Lincoln and a trip back to Colorado still to come!! (Are you tired of my car yet? I am!!)
So, I mentioned Iowa? We spent 2 days with Ryan's sister and her kids! (Which was an absolute blast, and now I understand how horrible it was for my parents to drag Kate and I away from our family on trips to Chicago!)
Then back to Lincoln where we did the whole Christmas thing - which included this awesome cake ball tree!! (Drive time now? 62 hours.)
Then, we had Katie's birthday! (Geez, she's 23... that's like... old!)
Then back to Colorado - Drive time total? 73 hours. Yep - more than 3 full days in the car. THREE FULL DAYS!! (Ok, that's not a huge deal - I did drive a truck. So, it was actually enjoyable. But wow... just now totalling that up? EEEK!)
JANUARY 2013
After a quiet NYE at home (where I was asleep before Midnight - thank you very much!) Ryan hit the road and life returned to normal in Colorado!!
There were trips to the Children's Museum
And the Nature Center
And the Children's Museum Again
And some bike riding and picnics at the park
And of course we stayed busy at home...
We baked
And made silly Finger Puppets
We crocheted - Ok, I crocheted... while Skyler slept.
We played Dress Up
A lot of dress up...
We went for walks (when it snowed again!)
And we colored. A lot. (Because it's our favorite thing to do!)
I think you're caught up on our life now!! (Hopefully my next few entries aren't as photo heavy!!)

Then? A few more days later? My dad, Skyler and I drove up to help her move out of her dorm. (Yep - are you keeping track of our time on the road? There will be a tally! I promise.)
Total driving time (from Lincoln to Wayne in December) approx 30 hours!
Total driving time total in December (up until now?) 35 hours!
But, we're not done! See, Skyler and I drove back to Colorado! Where we got home just in time for a big snow storm, where a tree fell on our house!
