over the river and through the woods

two weekends ago, we headed up to the frozen north to visit grandma and all the aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. that we could round up. we had a great time!!! it was SO wonderful to see everyone and their families! here is kawelo and grandma enjoying some quality time....


koa loved grandma's rocking horse, and was very gentle with it. he also loved grandma's cat, cat, who, unlike josie, has not learned to run away from the sight of him. koa was very gentle with cat, also.

here is a little beacon of winter that i saw the morning we left. did i mention that it was freezing up there? we have quickly become wienie-fied by our mild winters in kentucky. i dearly loved seeing all of our family in the frozen tundra, but i think we'll wait till late spring or summer before we venture that way again. thanks to all the fam that made it to the get-together - we LOVED seeing you!!!!
