I am fighting with blogger. In two years they evidently improved the site and made it so much easier to use. Unless you are computer illiterate like me. Then you like to have one simple rabbit trail to stay on and please don't change it. I am trying to add more pictures to the sides of the blog, but until I win, I will put some here for you.

The above picture was the kids going to school and Morgan to work one chilly day up north. Yes, it was cold, but if my memory serves me correctly, none of the other ranch men or kids dressed to the hilt. In fact, it was quite a mild winter.... if you have been living up there for years. Not so mild when we were used to 70 degree average temperatures all winter. As I wore a tshirt to work outside today, I have to say it is good to be back down here. :)

                                          Here's what they look like without winter gear on.

And here's what they look like leaving for school down here. Ahh... so much less to keep track of! Up north it was three pair of bog boots, snowpants, gloves, hats, extra shoes in backpacks in case they didn't want to wear snowboots all day, and extra clothes in case they wet their pants before they could get all of their gear off when they arrived at school (just kidding about the last one). I know those moms up there are pros at it, but I was thankful during those winter months that I only had three kids in school! :)
