Ice World

 

We took the kids and Sarah to see Ice World, a traveling ice sculpture exhibit. Winnie had the fun idea to play the Frozen soundtracks to add to our experience. Emerson got to high-five a penguin.

Celebrating Progress

 

Emerson is celebrating Big Grandpa being cigarette-free for 23 days! Keep it going!

Lithopolis Tournament

 

Today J23 played at Eastside Athletics near Canal Winchester. Proud of #49! Once her team was done with their bracket, she volunteered to ref at the end of a long day.

Snow Day

 

Snow day - more than we have had in years! It was up to Emerson's knees. We started to build an igloo in the backyard.

Indoors, the fun continued. Winnie set up a movie theater in her room.

Valentine's Day

We woke to sweet treats on Valentine's Day. The kids and I made some peanut-free blossoms. Matt, Molly, and Shadow came to visit and stayed for lunch. They brought Winnie a belated birthday gift.

J23 Places 2nd

 

Doc took Kit to her second tournament in Newark. He said she had some great bumps and was a super teammate. Her team took second place in the silver bracket!

Kit's First Volleyball Tournament

 

Kit's team, Mintonette J23, participated in their first volleyball tournament at the Elite Volleyball Center in Plain City. A big day for Kit! She had never played in an official volleyball game, let alone a tournament!

Game 4: really good bump

Game 5: cheered on her team/great team spirit

Game 6: bumped it over beautifully
