Kelly, snowman, Em and Rex, he was not much of a helper, but he sure was a good watchdog!
Kelly and Emily made personal Christmas cards for their pen pals, Emily currently has five pen pals, one lives only ten miles from Kirk's dad in Indiana, what a small world! What a mess it makes, but sure is a lot of fun. We were at the table instead of the new school office, because baby it was cold outside! It was in the teens!
It is hard to believe that we have had snow on the ground since Sunday, it has not melted! That is the longest I reember having snow here.
Beware, there are some really bad photos on this update, the girls got one out of 25 right, I am glad for digital cameras or I would be broke on all the film we waste around here. 
Kirk didn't go to work today, we had 4 plus inches of snow, all the local schools in the 50 mile radius were closed, so he got to play in the snow with the girls! What a great time they had. It looks as if tomorrow is more of the same!
This is a photo from last weekend big swim meet in Seattle, Ryan Lochte (Olympic gold medal winner) was there, Emily had many things signed by him, and I suggested if she was going to wait in line again... to get a photo.
