osoha

our camp nestled here beneath the pines
is always on our minds
our memories we find
bring us back every year to you.
our lake, with its waters blue and clear
reflects each thought so dear
and brings us ever near
to the joys we have found with you.
the trips that we have had,
our friends forever true,
all fun and pleasure add
to life beneath the blue.
osoha we know, as our lives continue on
and days of camp are gone
whenever summers dawn
in our hearts, we'll return to you.

our christmas

we had a really fun and busy christmas in utah this year. we were able to see my sister and her family while they were visiting family in utah. jack and jane are best buddies and have so much fun together. grace and elsie were definitely interested in each other too. it was so nice to see them for a day! we stayed with the wilson's in spanish fork and had fun opening presents christmas morning. jane still didn't quite get it, but she had fun anyway. we were also able to spend a lot of time with nate's siblings and families. jane had a lot of fun playing with all of her cousins. it was nice to be back in utah for a short time and enjoy the snow for a week. but, it has been amazing being back. today, we have all the windows open and the sun is shining and i'm going to the store now in flip flops.

happy holidays........?

it doesn't really feel like it is almost christmas here. it is relatively nice and sunny here. growing up in wisconsin and then the past few winters in utah, it doesn't feel like christmas without snow. we have our tree up and jane and i sing jingle bells about 20 times a day. lucky for me, we will be heading to utah for christmas and maybe then it will feel more like the holiday season.

nate has been busy finishing up his first semester at school, i have been busy with new playgroups and holiday preparing, jane is busy being crazy and singing and dancing all day long, and elsie has been busy trying to crawl-she spends most of her days on the floor doing some sort of push up move-she is very close!
