Puppy Love

We caved. Or should I say Chris caved. Or should I say I finally told him I'm overruling him on this decision. Anyhow, we got a dog. Our kids have wanted one forever. And can I say, we're totally SMITTEN, even Chris? Lucy's a little yellow lab puppy, just 5 weeks old. Does it get any cuter than this? We seriously love, love her and the kids just can't get enough of her. Fun times. Now, let's see what I'm saying about her in a week (or so I've been told). More to come...

Ice, Snow, and Sleet, Oh My!

We, along with most of the rest of the country, had quite the snow and ice storms. The kids were out of school for 4 days one week and 1 day the next week. The ice was no fun, but the snow is a different story. I had to get rather creative by the end of all of it to keep these 4 rambunctious kids entertained, but it was kind of fun. Although in the end, I believe everyone was ready for school to start again!



Sydney was SO happy at this point for the ice to have turned to snow after 3 days. Can you tell?
