Maybe you remember my entry about winter.  How much I dislike winter.  How much I LOATHE winter.

This has been the best winter of my life!

Thank you, LORD Jesus, for this mild, easy winter.  Thank You for the warm days.  Thank You for the lack of snow.  Thank You for easy-driving, no-mittens-needed, bootless winter. 

We’ve been plugging along.  Six weeks into 2012 we’ve been pushing forward with our school work.  We’ve finished 2/3 of our school book work and only just met the school’s half-way point.  We get to pull back a little, enjoy co-op, plan some field trips, and make room for more play dates.

Winter’s not over yet. 
The school year’s not over yet.
But I feel like we are over the apex of the year and are now on “the other side of the mountain.”
