Resurrection of the blog?

I had completely forgotten about this blog until recently.  At first I was just going to copy all the posts to a word document as a journal of Ryan and I's married life, but now I'm debating starting it up again.  I believe I initially stopped because it became difficult to get the pictures uploaded based on the settings blogger/photobucket/picasa had, but since then google has bought picasa and everything is easy again (picture-wise).

Life of course, has continued along at an alarming pace it seems.  Matthew is in kindergarten and Alice in pre-school.  We've sold our house, bought another one across the country in North Carolina, and are currently enjoying our 75 degree weather in October.  It's been so long I've forgotten how to write it seems, but I will ponder on this updating idea.

Farewell for now.

Alice After Church

Here are some cute pictures and a video of the past few weeks of Alice after church.  She looks so cute in dresses and loves being pretty in her dresses on Sunday.  She is probably the one most happy with getting dressed up for church in fancy clothes and boots! :)

Such a happy girl.  We love it!

Pictures from January/February

Here are some pictures from January and February as well as a few videos of Alice being her super cute self.  She loves to 'read' and 'dance', which just make me smile every time I see it.

Matthew Pre-School Singing

In early January, Matthew sang with his school friends to show their parents and friends all the songs and things they'd learned in school so far.  Here is a video showing Matthew's singing prowness.

Christmas Day 2015

Here are pictures of Christmas Day at the Russell house, December 25, 2015.

First Large Snow Storm - Alice's First Snow

In mid-December we had a large snow storm that dumped 19inches of snow on us in 36hours.  There was lots of shoveling, snow blowing, and four-wheel plowing to get out of the snow, but Alice looooved it.  She's the only baby I know that loved snow on her first exposure to it.
