Prepare For Picture Overkill

But I don't care if it's overkill because I love this little family, and I love these pictures that we had done.  And since this blog is about us for us, I think pictures of us are a great idea.  You'll just have to scroll past the glurge if you don't like it.  Seriously, Allison, you are a great photographer.  Thanks for capturing such sweet/fun times in our home.

Snow Day!

Facts about the weather here:

Albuquerque is in the northern upper region of the  Chihuahuan Desert.  Its elevation is between 4900 and 6700 feet above sea level, making it one of the highest in the United States.  The climate is hot and dry though tempered by the high elevation. There are an average of 3,420 hours of sunshine per year.  Winters are brief but definite.  Spring is windy, warm, and dry.  Summer temperatures are between 90 and 100 degrees and are very tolerable because of the low humidity.  Fall has mild days and cool nights.  

In short, the weather is pretty awesome with each season being mild and enjoyable.  We happened to get a little bit of snow this past week and with it came a three day vacation from school!

The boys had such a great time sledding at our friends' house.  Cyrus decided to skip the sled and just scoot down the dirt bank.  It was cute.  When I finally got Cy to go down with me, we got the bottom of the hill and he said, "gin."  (again).  So we went again and again and again and again and again.

Fun With Cy

Cyrus is always up for a good time whether that means putting on 20 shirts and 12 pair of underwear at one time

 or letting Dad give him a drawing of underwear on his back.  Let's hope we aren't responsible for thousands of dollars worth of therapy in his adult life.
