The Visit

Kristen and Mary Kate drove the five hours from Madison to visit us for a few days. We had a great time of shopping, movies and just plain catchin' up! Of course, we all had to wear our denim jackets for the group picture. :-)

Overdue Update

Tonight I am babysitting Aaron, Lela, Alyssa, Isaac, Levi and Kyla for Ed and Jessica's date night. The three oldest are watching the black and white version of Lord Fauntleroy, the two little boys are having fun pummeling each other and Kyla is contentedly blowing bubbles and kicking and waving on a blanket on the floor. It is a fairly controlled situation aside from the noise of the movie, the boys screaming and laughing, the baby gurgling and cooing and Lela occasionally calling, "Be quiet! I can't hear!" over the din.
Peter is working tonight. He has the closing shift so he won't be home until the wee hours of the morning. The picture I posted is one that Peter's mom took of us while she was in the States over Christmas.
P.S. Now Levi and Kyla are spitting and blowing bubbles at each other - and cracking each other up in the process! :-)

More Snow

Would you believe that it snowed Saturday? in south Mississippi of all places? It actually stuck for most of the day too. I would guess it was about an inch or a little less. Aaron: "We got to taste snow for the first time in our lives, Aunt Holly!" Lela, nodding: "We got to SEE snow for the first time in our lives!" Alyssa, jumping up and down and squealing: "The first time in our lives! The first time in our lives!"

Snow!

Peter and I got to spend a few days in the snow in Iowa! It was fun. I couldn't make a snowman. The snow wouldn't stick together. I did do plenty of slipping and sliding, though. Next time, I am springing for snow boots - or something warmer with more traction! :-)
