January 30th, 2012! Well here it is almost the last day of January already. The month has flown by. We have been pretty busy since last writing. We had company the week of Jan. 16th. Grandma and Grandpa Sanford came for Anna and Brooks' birthdays. Grandpa Rasmusson also made it over for a few days and so did Uncle Jay. Anna had two basketball games while all the family was here. Her team beat Superior and lost to Arlee. While the family was here the kids got 2 snow days. Anna thought it was the greatest birthday gift to have a snow day on her birthday and the day after. We got hit with a pretty good snow storm. We thought we were going to get another storm, but it turned into rain. It rained pretty good last night. The extended forecast is calling for some fairly warm temps the next week so I imagine we will have lots of standing water from the melting snow. Basketball is starting to wind down for the season. Andrew only has two Tiger Cub games left and Anna also only has two games left. We have more company coming this weekend for Andrew's birthday. After this weekend things should start to slow some. Brooks is still working hard at the meat shop. He is starting to get days booked for Spring Fishing. I have been busy with school board duties and keeping up with the kids and their activities. I am looking forward to the warm temps coming our way. I might just get motivated to get out and start walking to get rid of all the Christmas weight I gained. Well I better get going. I have laundry calling my name. Have a great day!
