Cold and Snowy January

 It has been a snowy and very cold January this year.  We have had the usual cancellations for snow (in PA that means that if it is snowing, or looks like snow, or an inch of snow falls, or there is a forecast for snow then there is a delay, cancellation or early dismissal)  and this year we have had some unusually cold days with temperatures at -10 overnight and highs in the low single digits.  They cancelled school the evening before cold temperatures were expected and Jeffrey was hoping that when he woke up there would be a bunch of snow to play in, but instead it was just frigid outside!

This month Jeffrey has really been enjoying skiing at Tussey Mountain.  He took a couple group lessons and now he is doing a great job skiing down the beginner slope.  He can ride the lift up by himself and we have a good time skiing together almost every weekend.  We have lunch from subway on our way there and when we get home Jeffrey has hot chocolate and I have a Latte.  Mike has brought Meredith to watch Jeffrey ski and she can't wait until she is big enough to go skiing too.  (Maybe next winter.)

Jeffrey tests out his new skis!

Other than that we have been having some cozy fires in the fireplace, watching some movies, keeping our pipes from freezing and getting ready for Jeffrey's birthday and Valentines day!
