The temps have dropped and the frigid winds are kicking up but that won't stop the Batter Bunch. The Grand Opening our new office had to be delayed a week due to an 18 inch snow drop in the 1st blizzard of the year. That didn't worry us - it gave us an extra week to invite people to the office! We had over 100 people attend, the space was maxed out, with overflow spilling down the hallway. Good thing the fire marshall was nowhere to be found!! I'm so proud of all the amazing pioneers in this pic. This is truly our year to explode and grass roots spread our crusade!!

All work and no play makes mommy a cranky lady, so I was happy to get a night out on the town with 10 amazing mamas. I organized a "club" in our tiny village called the K2 club and these fab gals are some of the participants. Each grade in our school has approx 80 kids - super small - so we were fascinated to learn that 17 families out of the 80 had kids in both Kindergarten and 2nd grade. We were all on the same birthing plan! Crazy! Needless to say, I thought it was important to get the parents together as it's likely our kids will be in the same class going forward for the next 12 years - and it's good to know the parents of the friends your kiddo is hanging out with. I'm happy to report at 17 mamas are awesome, now to meet the daddys.

Daddy and I have discovered roasted beets. Seriously, roasted beets? Who knew how much love is packed in each bite!

| Makes me hungry looking at it! |
When the wind chill isn't below freezing, we are outside sledding in our front yard. I love that we don't have to drive anywhere to go sledding!!! The paths are getting super fast from all the sled runs and freezing rain. This is a typical shot of Ben at the bottom of the driveway.

Ben lost tooth two. This one really loved being in Ben's mouth because it took FOREVER to bust loose. As you can see, the permanent tooth was already growing in behind it!

I'm not sure how this has happened, but the 100th day of school is coming up fast. Ben needed a "super hero" cape, so of course he chose lego star war*s.

One of the K2 families is our new business partner, too! The kids are in the same classes so we are play dating up a storm with them.
