January in a Nutshell

In January Porter started bringing home books to read! We're so proud of him and how much he is learning! Porter can be really difficult and has a very stubborn personality. Before school started, I was actually dreading working with him on reading because I thought it would be a constant fight to get him to do it. But he's surprised us! He enjoys reading to us and has learned quickly. 

No more nursery! In January Grant became a Sunbeam! He knows all the words to "Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam" (or sunbeemp as he pronounces it) and was excited for his new class! Kind of a bittersweet moment for mom and dad--no more babies in the nursery at church!


A robot Porter made from playdoh that he wanted me to take a picture of.
Grant likes to pretend that he's a big boy and reads from the books the older kids get from their school library.
Apparently Porter stole my camera and took this picture.
We didn't have much snow at our house in January, so we headed up on the mountain for a day of sledding.










Porter and Grant both got cold and headed back to the truck to get warm. It was so cute when Porter held Grant's hand to help him walk up the hill.

After sledding we had a fire and a hot-dog roast to get warm.




We don't subscribe to any cable or even local TV channels, so our kids think it's a special treat when they get to watch a kids show on the kindle!
And that was our January!
