From Our Snow Family to Yours!

I've been falling behind posting photos lately, I literally have 50 or so that I'd like to get posted and haven't taken the time to do it. So stay tuned! In the meantime, here are a few that I took during the last snowstorm.


Ella in the snow pants just KILLS ME! She looked like a little sausage. Here's Ella's Snow Girl:


My Snow Mommy:


James' Snow Boy:


And our Snow Daddy:


Chris didn't help because he was too busy setting up his new weather station thing that tells him a hundred weather readings. I didn't mind because to see his face light up like a kid on Christmas Day once he got it working was priceless.


Don't we look happy? The funny thing is that now when I hold up a carrot and ask Ella what it is she says "Nose!"

HA HA HA!!

Winter Blues

Winter is wearing on me a little bit. It hasn't snowed much--that fluffy, romantic type of snow that I love. It has been bitter cold, and the sky has been as gray as my header photo. BLAH.

James had a 24 hour tummy bug on Monday. That was not fun for the poor little guy.
Ella is teething, or something, PLEASE, let there be some reason for the constant crankiness.

James was fine yesterday, and then last night he got a fever. It seemed better this morning, until at lunch he announced he wasn't hungry, he was cold, and that he was going to go lay down on the couch. "What??" Yup. Temp was 101. (sigh). All I can do is medicate him and love him.


I am excited to be just loaded with new projects for Pioneer Network, the organization I am freelancing for. But fevers and crankpots don't bode well for conference calls, now do they.

Oh--or play dates. Sorry ladies, I'm canceling our play dates this week. I can't risk spreading whatever James has to you and your healthy families.

Now, on the other hand, Ella's not really sick, just earning her "Princess of Darkness" nickname. (I know, that is so terrible, and I am definitely headed to Mommy Hell for it). Any takers? Flannery, she could practically walk right over to your house!!!


Remember that nursery rhyme, "There was a little girl, she had a little curl . . .". But damn I love her!! Okay, I have to go, I gave her my cell phone to keep her quiet while I posted, and no doubt she has downloaded various things by now!

Oh, and I'll ask again. . . IS IT SPRING YET???!!!!!

Is There Anything So Beautiful . . .

. . . as a Cardinal in Winter?

A Winter Walk

There are 190 acres of
Audubon land right outside my back door.

It makes for a wonderful Winter walk!
