Mid January we spent the weekend at the lake. AGAIN yes. It is just so calm, relaxing, and fun to be out there. Even in the winter. The weather has been nice here and it feels warm to us considering what it usually is in the winter time. The first thing Harper usually says when she knows we are going there, is "YES, I get to see Kenle" She loves to play her. No crazy karaoke night this weekend;) Maybe next time!
The first week in January was beautiful here in the good life. Temps were in the upper 50's to lower 60's. Thats crazy compared to our winter last year where we all had to buy a "happy light" just to avoid seasonal depression. Okay okay we didn't buy one but we should have. This winter has been suprisingly on and off warm. Ryder came for a visit and I scooted out of work early to enjoy the park. They ate snack and then played their bums off at the park. Juice Stop is right by the park, so we enjoyed a treat as the sun set. Perfection! 
Grandma Cindy & Grandpa Frank came to Omaha shortly after the new year for an evening visit. They brought us gifts from their trip to California and played with all our new Christmas presents with us. It was so nice to have them over for an evening. Very simple and very perfect! 
A few weeks ago we hung out with our pals baby Rhys (which we have called him since his birth and Harper still does, but he is NOT a baby anymore), and his parents Liz and Ian. We rarely stay the weekend at home in Omaha (as you can probably tell we're either in Lincoln or at the lake) so when we do stay put we try to meet up with these favorite pals. Rhys is a hoot and it's fun to see him growing. Liz and I could talk for hours and I always thoroughly enjoy every second we spend together. We definately need to hang our more often this year!
