the snowy day

Two days ago we were outside running around in t-shirts. We all got a winter getaway for about five days which was wonderful. We knew it wouldn't last and my kids and I were outside every moment we could savor. Yesterday was chilly so we spent the day getting ready for today...we checked out 32 books from the library and went to Aldi to stock up on groceries. Now we're all hunkered down and it feels great. We woke up to this scenery this morning and more is falling as I type.

I have started using Instagram again, but this time I am posting @thegrovestead. I really enjoy that quick way of documenting a moment and hope you'll bounce over there to see our pictures. Instagram always takes away from the blog a bit...I feel like, "well, that story was shared already..." But it is just so easy to share parts of our day that way. That said, I am FAR TOO WORDY to turn fully to instagram. You all know I need my space to write.

So click on over to the grovesteads instagram page. Rory tried for a long time to connect this blog to our instagram account, but Blogger hasn't made any updates to their site in a long, long time. We'll keep working to make it easy as possible, so keep an eye on the right side of this blog for easy links and slideshows. Until then, just click here. And then click on any picture to read the caption. :)
