One Second Everyday

I have an app on my phone called 1 Second Everyday and so for the last month or so I have been taking a video everyday.  I select a 1 second snippet and the app mashes them together to make a little movie.  Olive has enjoyed helping and of course, watching.  I'm sure it will be more fun as it gets longer and longer.  Here's a preview...

Hot Springs, NC

Yesterday we packed up everyone up (including Hamilton) and took a day trip to Hot Springs, NC.  Hot Springs is a little town on the Appalachian Trail.  Daddy got relive some hiking memories and we all got to enjoy a beautiful day on the Trail.

More Snow

We got just a bit of snow this morning, enough to get bundled up and build a little snow man.

Soccer ball

We have had some unseasonably warm weather and Olive has been able to enjoy some of her new "outdoor toys" she got for Christmas.

Grammie

This year we were lucky enough to have Grammie come visit for a couple of weeks over the Holidays. It was the first time Grammie has gotten to spend Christmas with Olive and the first Christmas Daddy has gotten to be with his mom in about 15 years.  Grammie was a huge help around the house and we had a great visit.  It was hard to say good bye.
