here is a posting of all of the random 365 pictures that i have taken over the last month+, i was trying to keep up for awhile then i got stuck in a rut of winter blues. so this is my attempt to get it going again. i am going to post one post of all the missing photos that i did actually take and then i will start over again. a fresh start with the coming of spring.

1.19.09...today was a day off work for martin luther king day. then we were blessed enough to get a little bit of snow, not a whole lot, but it makes everything really pretty

1.20.09...Inauguration Day...today was quite the historic day, one of those days you will always remember where you were when...barack obama became the first african american president of the united states. since i was unable to take the day off work, when we had a delayed opening because of yesterday's snow, the kindergarten team decided we would watch as much of the inauguration as possible with our students. i was worried that i wouldn't be able to watch it live, but it worked out quite well.

1.24.09...me, nikki, andy, and leah having a great time waiting out the actual plunge, funny story...some of us never actually made it into the water because a certain other one of us decided to waltz right into the bay in all of our clothes! very funny story! a very fun day.

1.25.09...well this is my brother, chris, the funny thing about this picture is that this is after he gave us all a good scare choking on a piece of steak at outback for dinner. that may not be the funniest part. this is only one day after he attended the polar bear plunge and got his foot run over and couldn't plunge because the state troopers had to take him to the ER and he was then on crutches. he was fine after both incidents which is the only reason it is funny. we have been teasing him that he has a stroke of bad luck because his birthday is falling on friday the 13th this year.

1.27.09...today was especially nice because we were released early from our professional development for snow! so happy about that, and it's a day we don't have to make up at the end of the year!

1.28.09...school was cancelled today, which was so nice! our first official snow day. since it was shawn's work from home day today, we decided to take a winter walk this afternoon to go take some pictures at falling branch waterfall. it was cold and started raining midway through, but it was still kind of nice.
