Prayers

I know everyone has something going on in there life that they could use prayer for. Sometimes its an emotion and sometimes it is pain. With Elisabeth, it is Physical pain. She has 2 herniated discs in her neck. We went to see the doctors and there is a couple of procedures that can be done to relieve her pain. Since the appointment her pain has gotten worse. She can no longer sleep well and mornings seem to be her worst time of day. She is a very tough woman and has a high pain tolerance. I know she does not want sympathy, so i will ask for your prayers for her. Pray that the pain will Decrease until the surgery. Prey that the pain does not get worse. Jesus can heal anyone. Sometimes the answer is yes, no, or not right now. But we must give him a chance to heal her and at the least........Ask.

Civil Emergency

And the snow just keeps coming. A Civil Emergency has been issued for us. What does that mean? STAY HOME! To many people have been getting stuck in the snow, and not enough emergency services to get them out.

Kailey is trying to catch the snow flakes with her bug catcher.

Gotta enjoy a nice hot cup of hot coco after all of that playing in the snow. Yea, Tana has learned to wink!!

Got snow?!

It started snowing Friday night and has kept snowing since. Saturday morning the girls were very anxious to go out and play in it. They lasted about forty minutes, just playing and eating the fresh laid snow. In past years, they did not even make it ten minutes! Plus they even shook our baby trees, as they have not lost all of their leaves yet.

Tana lost her gloves, not a good thing. She survived and went right back out.

Yes, they are eating snow. This is just one battle that I can not fight, just teach them the right kind of snow to eat.

Update on the Fireplace

As of Friday, the installers have completed three out of the four vents. Over the weekend we will be installing the front stonework.

I'm a Big Boy Now!

Okay, it has been really driving Paul crazy to have Chase's hair as long as it was. But he allowed it to be that long, just for his twelve month pictures. And now that has been taken care of, Paul took his first opportunity to do just as he envisioned . . . BUZZZZZZZZZ!!!!

Wow, it is crazy that just a simple hair cut can make this little one look so much older!

A Day at the Zoo

We went to the zoo today with Kailey's Kindergarten class. She had lots of fun and loved to be with her classmates discovering the animals as they come out of hiding.

The "dancing porcupine" was a big hit. It was standing up on it's back legs literally rocking back and forth, dancing. The kids just loved it! Tana even started dancing with it.

Kailey Turns Five!!

This year we asked Kailey where she would like to celebrate her birthday. She responded way to quickly with "Chuck E. Cheese!" So that is exactly what we did. We invited a few of her close friends and had a blast.

One morning when Kailey was about three years old she was watching Seseme Street and it was an episode with Elmo playing different instruments. Since then she has been asking for a guitar and a violin. We finally thought that she was old enough to take care of one, so we got her a guitar for her birthday this year and she LOVES IT! We as parents do not have a clue how to play, but that does not seem to stop her!

Kailey was also able to celebrate her birthday with her Kindergarten Classmates. She decided to wear her "Birthday Girl" crown, which made her feel like a true princess!
