Walking in a Winter Wonderland

May 1st!  That is the big day!  That is the day that will mark the end of my hard work (and much exhaustion) from these past 5 semesters.  May 1st--graduation day!  Yesterday marked the start of my last semester of graduate school and I am quite excited for the classes that I have this semester.  One of them is Leadership in Instructional Design and Educational Technology and the other is Advanced Projects.  The latter is focused on our culminating project, our Capstone--which is a group project, which we must present in front of a panel in late April.  It's nothing like defending a thesis, but we still need to be ready to answer some tough questions.

Now... on to our Winter Wonderland fun...

It's great living so close to a plethora of trails.

using her snowshoes for the first time

She insisted on using the poles.

along for the ride

She loves the outdoors!  There is usually always a smile on her face.

sisterly love!

 We have one determined girl!  She insisted on riding her bike at the dog park.

Andy wants to make a sledding path in our backyard.  Emma tested it out one snowy afternoon.

 After sledding, Emma got more miles on her snowshoes in the backyard.

Last Sunday, Andy and Ben took Emma skiing.  They had a fabulous time and needed to refuel with some pizza and, of course, football.
