January 2024

SNOW! The area broke the record set in the early 70's for the longest number of days without at least an inch of snow -- 662 days! We celebrated with sledding at Valley Creek Park and the kids exerted tremendous energy building a big snow pile in the front yard.

James continues to enjoy soccer -- two indoor seasons with his friend, Henry, have been fun.

Alma and James had a lovely winter orchestra concert. (Alma wore heels, hence the height difference.)

The cats are still a fun part of our family. Although at one point Emma volunteered to be adopted!

Paint colors for Buck Run

I wanted to save our house's paint colors here for future reference. Since we live near a Home Depot, we generally purchase Behr paint.

• Foyer: Drip
• Living, dining, and family room: Swiss Coffee (also the main color in our Bethlehem house)
• Living room accent wall: Ocean Abyss
• Kitchen: Rain Washed
• Family room accent wall: Silverberry (also our bedroom color in Philly)
• Sunroom: Dainty Apricot
• Alma's room: Blue Echo
• Main bedroom: Vintage Velvet

We've removed wallpaper from every room in the house but have not yet tackled the bathrooms.
