The countdown!

12 Days until we depart for southern locations---YAY! Now only if I can survive Showcase and report cards before then, I'll be all set.

Health status--knock on wood--everyone is currently healthy. Yay x 2!

Snow status--50 degrees plus today, so we've had progress on melting.... don't tell the 10 foot snow pile in my driveway, but its days are numbered.... maybe until May, but at least the process has begun.

Until the next post, here's a cutie of Lucy Jane.

There's no day like a snow day.

Yesterday Northern Michigan was blessed with an abundance of snow.... enough to cancel school for us! This came as a welcome treat because:
a) we needed the extra time to let our sick kids mend,
b) we haven't had one in forever, and
c) who doesn't like snow days?!?!?!

The boys are making progress (the good kind) on their health; after visiting the doctor himself and receiving 3 different meds, Ken is now on the road to recovery as well. Lucy has been dealing with the nasty side effects of the antibiotics (we actually had to switch which one she was on), but maybe things will start improving???? I hope so. Besides the ear infections, the cough, the side effects of antibiotics, she has multiple teeth pushing through again.... poor girl. She keeps her spirits up still, and it is truly amazing.

Lucy, parading in monkey jammies and one of her favorite blankies.

Owen, zoned out watching his favorite show, "Wow Wow Wubzy". He is wearing his favorite hat, which he wears every waking moment while he is at home.


Mitchell, showing off what few teeth he has left (haha). Sooner or later the tooth fairy will bring him some front teeth... its only been 4 and a half months.
