On the river

In the snow yesterday the girls and Josh had fun playing outside.  They played on the swing set, they played tackle football / chase, and they walked on the frozen river.  I have the coolest husband...can you see what is written in the snow on the river?

(I was inside making bread.  I'm excited for winter next year when I can get out and play, too!)

This morning Shelby had Vivian pick some books and she "read" them to Vivian.  It was so sweet!  Shelby is actually doing very well in her schooling and she is learning to read!  It is very fun and exciting to see her figure things out.  She is a precious girl.
