The kids have been begging to go ice skating, and we finally went. We started them off in normal blade skates, which were a LOT of work. I can barely stand up myself, so it was quite a challenge to get them to skate with us. Quickly we moved to double-blade skates, which were super fun for the kids. They were able to be independent, but weren't really skating...just sort of slowly gliding along. They could have done that all day, if only Mom had double blade skates. It felt like some one was stabbing daggers into my feet and ankles. Very painful!
The kids started off pretty confident when they could balance and walk around easily before we hit the ice.
These pictures are by the lake next to the ice rink, which are all in our park. Today we had to say goodbye to Daddy for 16 days. He is traveling to Ethiopia with our church on a medical missions trip. The kids are very excited that their dad gets to go to Africa to "help people." We will miss him a lot!

Hey there Laura - I've been stalking your blog for some time now. Thanks for posting on mine. :-) Yeah...here goes nothing, right? Still hard to believe we're going from 0 to 2.
Hope things go well while J is away!
Love, Bryonie
Aaaah...we've been talking about ice skating and haven't been brave enough yet. Good job you! Hope you all are well without Daddy for a while!
OK, so I'm not stalking, either, but I just saw your comment, and we would be ALL OVER a vacation trade! We live on part of the Chesapeake Bay - our home isn't waterfront, but our neighborhood is. Did I sell you? :) If you guys are interested, let's talk more...
