But here we are though, still in Utah during the winter. We had some guests come over this week and our kids have loved it. Tom and Natalie came to visit us for a few days and they have been having fun in the snow. So it has been a fun last week. I got my new system, and an update for the office: a couch. Now Elise can come in and be with me while I work at home. And yes Reuben, the new couch is from Ikea, so we are more Ikea now than ever!
Well, you did not come here to read my words, just look at pictures. Which this week I did not do anything special to them, I just used them as they are, so they are not in chronological order or anything else that is special.

One bad thing about sledding down, you have to walk back up

Merry Christmas everyone! This past week was amazing and we had a lot of fun. There are a lot of pictures this week, so I will not write too much for the post. But to cover some highlights: Elise took the kids snow skiing this past week. Kas and Netter loved it, Zo was hesitant…
Weeks have gone by, and the Hird Family is still exploring Utah and the new life here. This past week is no different. In order to understand this week, we must understand the family. Elise was born and raised in Arizona. Minus a little time spent in Slovenia, she has been almost her whole life…
This past week was really active. My Dad and Debbie were here till last Wednesday. Unfortunately, I had to work so did not get to spend much time with them on Wednesday. I was really sad to see them go. This past week also had Utah celebrating Pioneer Days, so Elise took the kids to…
This is week 24. I am doing things a little different these next few weeks. Instead of posting on Monday, I will post on either Tuesday or Wednesday so that you can see all the cool things for the Christmas. Then when we get to the new year, I will resume on the Monday posts,…
Twenty Weeks and now comes the Thanksgiving Week. The Hird family is now a Utah family. We are settling in to this new environment and doing all the things we need to do, and living in Utah as a regular now instead of outsiders. We are still outsiders, but not as much anymore. This past…
