Happy Valentines Day!

Happy Valentines Day!

Our house was struck with two different kinds of winter illnesses over the past two weeks. We are finally getting past these nasty bugs and life is starting to get back to normal around here. I'll try to give you a brief update and then lots of photos of the latest happenings. As usual, there are a lot more photos on our flickr site so feel free to take a peak at them as well.

Michael has been working extra hard on the bathroom. We now have the flooring in, baseboard trim in, the toilet back in place and functioning, the vanity cabinets done and the blinds back up. Right now Michael is working on the vanity top. He is finishing cutting the cement board to size and then we will do a dry layout of the tile before cut it to size. We are getting really close to having a fully functioning bathroom! Our goal is to have everything done (minus the mirror and shelves) before Addie's play next weekend. I think that we will be able to get it done in time but it might mean a few late evenings this week.

Addie has been really busy with play practice after school most days. Her play is on Saturday and she is very excited. I'm sure she will do great. We will keep you updated on the play and maybe even post some pictures or a short video. At school Addie is working really hard on reading. Every night she brings home a different practice reader for homework. I'm constantly amazed at her progress.





Margaret has become a full time explorer! She is constantly into everything and is always running away from me and slamming the door in her a tempt to keep me from stopping her. Addie spends a lot of time playing outside and this drives Margaret nuts. She will either stand at the door or the window while banging and yelling. She loves looking outside and wants to be out there so bad. The other day we had a warm spell so Michael took her and Addie outside while I made dinner. Margaret walked up and down the driveway while holding his hand. You could tell she was in the height of her glory! Once spring is here I'm sure she will be outside every chance she gets, just like Addie.

Life has been keeping me really busy as well. Running Addie places, keeping up with Margaret, getting parts for the bathroom, bible study, starting Financial Peace University at our Church, making food for funeral dinners, and much much more keep me going non-stop. Well, I take that back, when I got the stomach virus and became extremely dehydrated two weeks ago I did come to a screeching halt for several days! But other then several illness I'm on the go.


Well, the baby is calling! Hopefully we will all stay healthy and I'll be posting again soon.
