Nathan's broomball debut

Nathan signed up to play intramural broomball and today was his first game. We decided we would go and watch. It's pretty much like hockey except you use a ball and you wear tennis shoes. He's never played before, but he seemed to do ok and have fun so that's all that matters.




Brooke wanted to be right up in the action.

After the game, they wanted to walk out on the ice. They have open skating times, but they're really weird times during the week so maybe we can go during Spring Break.

We took a couple breaks and walked around. This is where the Ferris Hockey team plays and where you can ice skate. Charlotte was very intrigued by all of these steps and kept wanting to climb them all. I had to chase her down a couple times.


Brooke hasn't been feeling well. She woke up with a temperature of 103 the other night and she didn't go to church today but she seems to be feeling better now.
It has actually been fairly warm here the last couple days with temps in the 40's or 50's. The sun has been shining and the snow is melting which means we can see grass once again!! On the way home from the game, we stopped at the intramural fields where he played ultimate frisbee. This is where they dumped all the snow from the parking lots on campus. They wanted to climb up one. You can see all the mounds of snow in the background and there's even more than that.
Here is a random picture of Brooke. She has been obsessed with Superman lately and so I think this is her Superman outfit with her "cape". I think the underwear outside her clothes really make the outfit. (I promise she has underwear on underneath).


For once, I'm excited about Valentine's Day. The primary at church is having an activity, which includes the nursery age kids, so the parents can go out. I think that is so nice of them. We have a gift card to Applebee's from our neighbor's wonderful parents who were here to visit and were grateful for babysitting and rides places. So, we basically have a free date! Yay! Lots of fun things going on this week for Valentine's Day so I'll have more to update then!
