Life Around The Apartment

The guitar that my officiating friend Heidi Mingesz sent the girls.
They absolutely love it.
It's not always easy to live in an apartment when there's a foot of snow on the ground (and the clubhouse swimming pool is closed for the season). But the girls make the best of it by finding things to do.

In February, that means finding activities to do indoors (like crafts) or playing the new guitar that Dad's officiating friend, Heidi Mingesz, sent as a gift. There's plenty of strumming going on – in between playing the Wii or board games.

And when they remember to bring their snowsuits, all the snow that's fallen so far this year makes for a terrific playground in the courtyard. (As evidenced above by Lauren's early attempts to make a snowman.)
