So Big

New and Improved

This past week we had our chimney and fire box repaired. Apparently, if we would have had the fire department come and inspect it, it would have been deemed unsafe to use. Good to know, don't ya think?

So, after my post yesterday, about longing for warmer weather, maybe just one cold night would be fun, so we can try out the new and improved fireplace, once it's cured. Would that be against the rules, since it is technically Spring?

Spring??

Was anyone else a little bummed to wake up and see snow falling this morning? I know I was, which says a lot since I love winter and all the rainy/snowy days it brings. It is currently just raining, but yikes is it cold outside. I think I am officially ready for some warmer weather, be it wet or dry.

If the weather report holds true, it looks like some nicer weather is coming our way for the weekend! Then the question arises, as to which flower bed to weed first.

Can it be?

Today marks Philip's half birthday, half way to two years old. He is learning so many new things, and is getting quite good at holding his own. Oh dear can two really be just around the corner?

Sick, Sick, Sick

Nothing but a whole lot of sickness has been going on around here these past days, and weeks, as it seems.

If you recall, several of us were sick two weeks ago with a nasty stomach bug that had been making its way through church. We recovered from that, only to catch the next strain of flu coming around.

I came down with the high fever part during the night Thursday, which put me in bed for Friday and most of Saturday. I was not sure I would make it to church in the morning, but this was all confirmed with a sleepless night Saturday. I moved between the couch and bed all night trying to sleep away a bad stomach ache.

Finally, I woke Jason up, at 4:30am to complain. This resulted in making our way to the ER, where we would spent the next 6 hours of our Sabbath. The diagnosis...a burst ovarian cyst.

Thanks to the grandparents, I spent the rest of Sunday, Monday and Tuesday sleeping, while they took care of the boys for me. Though, I am not sure I will ever feel rested again. I think I am slowly getting back to normal, and hopefully soon will have something more interesting to write about.

Play Till Ya Drop

The boys and I were able to spend most of our day up in Seattle, at the Children's Museum, with the Trent's and the Hinman's. Curios George is the traveling exhibit right now, which was cute.

The kids all had fun (wore themselves out), and the moms even got to visit a little, in between following kiddos around.

Yesterday, before church, we snapped a few photos of Levin in an a attempt to get a picture worthy enough of being framed for his three year picture. This is the best so far. The lighting was a bit off, and so we will try again soon.
