Winter Walkabout

So we have officially gotten more snow in the last few week than we did all last winter. I have to say we love it! If it's going to be cold there should at least be snow. We have a hard time finding time to get outside as a family, our days are pretty busy, but we wanted to start the New Year out right. We went on a hike with The Hones and had a blast. They have their fancy stroller/sled/trailer that Jades and Ellie rode in, and they were adorable. It was so nice to get out of the house and enjoy the snow.

We saw a Bald Eagle!

It was a good way to start the New Year especially since the Medley clan is participating in "losers for life". Our own biggest loser or get more exercise challenge. This is super helpful for me since one of the things on my 2013 list is to run a half marathon in April. I usually go running outside, but with the below 20 degree temperature I broke down and got a gym pass. I hate the treadmill, but I have to get my miles in somehow.

In other news Jared got a new job! He applied, interviewed, and was offered the job all in one day! Its with a company called Forever Green. They are a health food/supplement company. He will be doing all the design for the company....and in his own office ;)

Ellie is going to start walking any day. She stands without holding onto anything all the time. She has taken A step a few times, and Jared saw her go from sitting to standing this morning! She is growing so fast. She has two teeth, loves finger food and just started clapping. She enjoys pulling all the dvd's off the shelf, books out of the bookcase and ziploc bags out of the draws. Lets just saw she keeps my days busy and exciting. Love her more than words.
