Journal up date - tip

It's important to stay active with your profile by updating the journal weekly.  Nothing going on this week?  Talk about the season and activities you'd like to share.  Mention your childhood activities and why those memories are special and why you would like to share them with a child.  Capture something you didn't have space for when you created your adoption profile?
Here's mine:
Well it’s mid-January in the Midwest.  By now we’ve had enough cold weather that the lakes in northern Indiana are covered with ice.  With auger in hand I step out from the shore to drill through the ice.  If it’s four inches thick or more, I venture further out and check again.  After checking I shovel any snow off to create a skating rink.  Our nieces and nephews come over and there is laughter to be had as we turn weekend days into skating fun.  The kids learn to skate shortly after they learn to walk.  They pretend to have Olympic figure skating competitions.  Then everyone heads in for a cup of hot chocolate.
