First Snow



We awoke to deer running through the snow in our yard this morning. Such a treat.

Hello. Now we're really starting to settle. We've found a preschool for Ethan (Good Shepherd Lutheran School). It is a lot like his Montessori school. They are non-denominational, except that they are housed in the church and do spend time discussing values like gratitude and integrity. I like that. We've also been to story time at the library and have met some nice people. Justin is settling into work and enjoying it. It is a commute though. It isn't that far of a distance, but the drive can take a while on smaller roads with slow speed limits (which is nice). And, the drive is pleasant because it is beautiful and VT does not allow billboards. The Underhill/Jericho area has so much Vermont charm. Lots of red barns, churches, hand-made co-ops, etc. tucked within the hills.

Out and About
















The Underhill/Jericho area is so beautiful, rural with a lot of character. It is the home of Wilson "snowflake" Bentley. We've already been to the museum where his photographs of snowflakes and his first camera and microscope set-up are on display. There are a lot of trails in the area too. Here are some pictures of trails that are nearby. We are also close to Mount Mansfield, but haven't made it to those trails yet.

Goodbyes

Some pics of our last few days at home. We're so grateful for our friends and family (only a few of whom are pictured here).

Saying goodbye to our house. We love our little house.

We really love our neighbors. We already miss having them so close by. They've been an important part of Ethan's life too.



Visiting family and a few of our favorite places.






Ethan has such wonderful teachers and friends.
