3-Day Weekend

Well it was only supposed to be a three day weekend, but unfortunately I had to take Friday off to stay home with a sick little girl. Maddie had an ugly virus over the weekend, and ran high fever for 3 days... She's better now, but it was a long weekend.

Last night, after our recovery and a trip to Wal-mart, the kids and I made Valentine cookies. Now, I'm not that super ambitious...thanks to Pillsbury...we only had to cut-out and decorate the cookies, but my two helpers (Haston and Maddie...aka..the "Kitchener") did a great job making those hearts so beautiful! We only wish we could share them with everyone!

Haston got an awesome haircut---he is just looking too old lately! He loves his DOG! We're still trying to let the little pooch go live with Papa Dave.....we'll see!

This other picture was one of the rare moments when Maddie's ibuprofen enabled her to "perk up" and enjoy herself for a few hours! She is so silly!

Love to you all!

Our first post

Haston & I had an interesting trip to school today...icy roads and all. Slowly but surely we made it!

Haston is looking forward to the 100th day of Kindergarten, and all the excitement that comes with it! He loves school, and any special occasion there is definitely something for him to be excited about!

Maddie was looking forward to having an additional little girl around to play with today! Grandma was keeping an extra little one today, and I'm sure the "mother" in my 3 year-old will come out in full force!

We are praying and looking for a place to live of our own---this encompasses some difficult decisions for us, so please remember us in your prayers!
