January 2010

I am running a little late on posting for January. I had surgery the beginning of Feb, so things have been a little slow around here.

At the beginning of January, we had Charlie's 6th birthday party at a local bounce place. Charlie invited some neighbor kids and all of his classmates and the party was a great time. It was held on a Friday of a week in which we had snow days due to extreme cold Wed-Fri of that week. So, we were very ready to get out of the house and burn off some energy. The temps that week ranged from -20 to -40 wind chill. It was very cold. We didn't leave the house all week, except for the party.

The week of Charlie's party, we had fun cheering on the Hawkeyes in the Orange Bowl. We all got out our Hawkeye gear and had some good food and fun watching them.

Due to all the cold and snow over Christmas, we had to delay our family Christmas celebrations until after the new year. The weekend after New Year's, we had the Bogardus and Whitney Christmas'.
