Baby, it's COLD outside!

Good morning from a very cold NH! It is currently -14 degrees! Yes that says negative! Yikes, now that is cold! Please note that is unusually cold for NH but regardless, too cold for me! Sorry that I have not posted sooner! Thank you all for your prayers and emails asking how the first week of school and work went for Callie and Rob! We really appreciate it! Callie reports that she loves school and her favorite class is gym on Thursdays! It has been an adjustment for her because this is full day K. Her morning starts around 6:30 when I wake her and then we leave the house around 7:30, pick up her cousins who live about 10 minutes away, then arrive at school a bit after 8 in the morning. My sister picks up around 3:30 and Callie is back home around 4! We then do her homework, make lunch for the next day, lay out clothes, bath and PJ's, eat dinner and bedtime around 7-7:30ish! She is adjusting like a pro, no complaints! We love the school and are thrilled to see Callie blossom there, her reading and writing skills have really improved! Charlie continues to roll with the punches! He has had a few behavior issues; whining, crying, not obeying and so on....I think acting out some of the changes that he is feeling. In the last few days though he has really settled down and the sweet Charlie that we all know is back! He started a reading and art class yesterday at the library and loved it! (I loved the hour to myself as well!) He and I will be starting a bi-weekly bible study next Wednesday called Mom to Mom. I also started a 8 week bible study with my Mom at church for ladies on Tuesday nights. We are studying Beth Moore's A Journey Through the Psalms of Ascent. It's her latest bible study and I am looking forward to it! Rob is adjusting to the New England weather, the learning curve of a new job and work life in general after a few weeks off with just family in December. Below are a few pictures from our first week. (We have had two snowstorms since these pics were taken so there is an additional 15+ inches currently on the ground!) That about wraps up the latest on us! Have a great weekend and stay warm!

So glad to hear everything is going so great!! I hope it warms up there soon - it's in the 20s here and I think even that is way too cold!

Please share nuggets from Beth Moore. I did Believing God last summer and wished that someone would have made me (using a whip if necessary) do a Beth Moore earlier in life.
