Earthquake damage - January 24, 2016

Earthquake damage = some jars and some eggs. Glad we were 160 miles away from the epicenter of this 7.1 magnitude earthquake. For reference, it is about 160 miles from Boise to Burley, ID.

It lasted long enough that I woke up, moved into the kids' bedroom, picked up Meta and held her and Lincoln and started planning how to escape the apartment at 1:30 in the morning and where all the winter clothes are around the apartment. It took a long time to settle down.

Cordova New Years - December 30, 2015 - January 3, 2016

We tried to fly to Cordova on Monday, December 28th, but our flight was cancelled due to weather. So we rescheduled for the morning of Weds, Dec 30th. Our 8 a.m. flight was also cancelled. We Finally made it onto the evening flight and into Cordova. Hooray!

3oz desserts for NYE. Banana pudding pie, Chocolate pudding pie, blueberry cheesecake, lemon dessert. So yummy. Also (not pictured): pumpkin dessert with gingerbread crust. I did dessert today!

Lincoln learned how to play war using playing cards today. Proud Mama here!

Meta fell asleep a few hours before midnight.

Lincoln fell asleep as the ball was dropping. Happy New Year!

Haystack trail - last New Year's Day, we hiked the Haystack Trail to the overlook and we wanted to hike it again today. But it was W I N D Y!!! and too cold. So we only went about a quarter mile, took a picture and went back to the car. We tried.
