Celebrate!

Tonight we are celebrating one month of James not smoking!  That is huge for him!  We are so very thankful and proud.  We celebrated with Ruby Garden for dinner.  We also made him a chocolate cake with whipped chocolate icing. His favorite.  Tyler added a "3" and a "1" candle for 31 days or 3 weeks plus 1 week.  Thank you to everyone who has said even one prayer in his behalf!  I couldn't be more thrilled.  Thank you God for the GREAT THING YOU have done!

Too Much of a Good Thing!

My kids need to go back to school on a regular basis!  The lack of routine is breaking down the entire structure of our being.  They are fighting, yelling, hitting, and whining constantly.  Any suggestions short of locking them in their rooms?

Snow Buddies

The day brought a lot more snow than we were expecting!  I loved watching it come down all day.  Tyler begged Hailey to go out with him all day, and she finally agreed....after dark! 

Hailey even played with Ellie for a few minutes.

 

They took a second to come up on the porch and pose.

Tyler wanted Ellie to pose, too but she was too busy discovering this new stuff called snow!

My little angels making snow angels.  Isn't it cool how you can see the snow still coming down?

It was too cold to stay out very long, but they made the most of it.  They came in red faced and ready for the hot chocolate Dad had ready for them. Sounds like they will have several days to play this week!  Hailey said she'd rather have her summer, but Ty will take a day off any way he can get it.
