January Catch Up

  This month we mostly stayed close to home, here are some of our moments:

Night walks around the neighborhood:

Basketball fever:

 Benny being Benny:

And a few other moments:

You have to click to enlarge this and read it.  Too funny! At least Nate is giving to charity! Time for us to up our retirement account contributions. ;)

Riley's first time on the chairlift!

In the last few years, January has become a time of slowing down, focusing on family, and being thankful. The other night I was tucking Ben in and as we were saying our prayers, he stopped and waved to the ceiling.  I asked him what he was doing and he said, "I'm waving to those guys" and giggled. I said "What guys Ben?" and he answered "Jesus, God, and Badappa up in heaven". That's our sweet Benjamin Subramaniam, who shares his grandfather's middle name.  We love you Badappa and we remember you always, and especially today on your birthday. 

Tubing!

We cheered on our Seahawks (exciting game, bummer ending) and then drove to the mountain to go tubing.  I love that we can get to snow in just 40 minutes. Ben only went down with me a couple times, giggling the whole way, but then decided it was too scary so we made snow angels and threw snowballs instead. :)

Seahawks donuts at church.

Sleepy on the way to the mountain.

Happy New Year!

We met some friends for jumping during the day on New Year's Eve and then headed down to Gig Harbor to spend the night celebrating with the Ludlows, a fun tradition.  Happy New Year everyone!
