5 months old

Addie turned 5 months old this past Wednesday. We decided to give her some "real" food. So, rice cereal it was. She loves it. Pictures below.

It's been freezing here. So cold that schools have been canceling today and last couple of days. I didn't have to teach Kindergarten music yesterday, which was kind of nice, because I teach them in the morning usually. Joel called me yesterday on his way to class. He was going over the railroad tracks in town and there's a slight slope after that and then a stop sign. A guy was stopped at the stop sign and Joel lightly tapped the brakes. There was a patch of black ice. He tried swerving to the right to go into a snow bank, but the car still ended up hitting the truck with the left-hand back end of the car. The rear tail light is out and part of the bumper too. Thankfully it's just our bumpy, rusty, no-radio Focus and not our new car. We're not even getting our car fixed (except for a new light). Not worth the money.

Joel has off today. We're headed out on a date to go out to eat. This is 2 nights in a row! Last night we went to see a movie.

Hope every one is staying warm! I'm jealous of you Peruvians!



I'm 5 months old and ready to eat!

The first bite.

Hmm, not so sure about this.

Once I got the hang of it, I loved it!

I'm a happy camper in the morning.
