The Brittons

The past two weeks have been eventful again.  Gracie had her first basketball tournament and we've had more snow that we had all winter last year, which doesn't really take much.  We've also sprinkled in a few 60 degree days to make up for it.  The kids are home from school today due to the "blizzard."  We didn't really get that much snow, but it was really windy all night.
