Snow Days, Feb. 2006

We got our first snow fall earlier this month. The girls came out and helped daddy shovel the walks.

Here's Emma posing with her shovel.



















We proceeded to the backyard where the girls pelted me with snowballs.
















Here's Kate, decked out in her winter garb.

Disney on Ice

Kim and the girls were blessed to attend Disney on Ice earlier this month. It was a "girly-fest" as Katie, Taylar, Nicole, and Emma were awed with the show. It was reported that there were several moments in which little girls looked on gaped-mouth.

Hiking in Portsmouth

Just after Christmas, the weather became unseasonably warm. So, we decided to take advantage of our good fortune and took on the challenge of Garfield hill. Katie, cousin Josh, Aunt Kim and myself climbed to the summit late in the afternoon.



Katie and I went into the old "cave" that I used to hike to as a youngster.

Josh was able to enjoy a lovely vista of Ohio River valley from the peak of the hill.
