Happy Monday, Jane here.  Yes, I’m holding on to the holidays with our golden holiday card tree until January 31st…don’t worry, we did throw out our real tree!  I have a resolution from two years ago called “embrace winter”…since I hate the cold and have often wished it away!  I think that part of it is keeping our house cozy with a festive feeling…twinkly lights, holiday decorations, fires, cooking, drinks with friends, and apparently a lot of Lego building with my boys!   Here are other things I’ve done so far to embrace winter…in case you feel the same:

1.  Joined a ski club and committed to skiing in Vermont at least 3 times this spring
2.  Invested an REI hat
3.  Bought some really warm Keen boots
4.  Got some lined snow pants and a ski sweater for xmas – woo hoo!
5.  Went tubing
6.  Walked our 12 yr old Lab Rupert!
7.  Learn soup and slow cooker recipes – today did both – Cauliflower Soup!

 

Our road trip destination was Vero Beach and we were thrilled to spend it with my parents, my brother, John and his wife Rei, and their adorbable two-year old, London!  Sebbie and Jude were so happy to be the big cousins for once and doted on London like a little sis.  I’m really glad we took the time to do a portrait shoot in this old tackle shop that I loved and reminded me of old Florida.  The last picture of us was taken by John.  You can see many more pics from the shoot by clicking here.

Maybe I was delusional but I thought it’d be fun to drive to Florida this summer with the whole family, to visit Jane’s folks in Vero Beach and stop along the way to see friends and take in the South.  Actually, it turned out to be a fantastic trip in every way!  We went 3000 miles, taking in DC, Williamsburg VA, Wrightsville Beach NC, Charleston and Savannah along the way…we’re talking motels and swimming pools…total Americana.  We and the boys had tons of fun seeing our friends Robin and Pat and their family in Columbia MD on both legs of the trip…thanks guys!  Lots of fishing, swimming, and sightseeing along the way…here’s an Instagram that Jane made from the trip…tomorrow we’ll post some pics from a photo session at the classic Old Florida Wabasso Tackle Shop.
