Just a Little Springtime!

I found some really cute little spring time ideas a while back. In the little vases are bulbs and herbs are in the pots. I like the indoor spring idea.

Another Snow Day!

We had school called off for another snow day today. I kind of like having these once in a while. They were predicting a big storm coming through and this time we really did get a pretty good snow. The main reason school is called off is because of the wind. It is to start blowing and drifting. My outdoor pictures of the trees look blue, but it was so pretty out this morning. Guess if we can't have spring yet, we might as well have a good snow storm!

Winter Break!

These are the smart ones--wanting to stay in one piece

Just back from our annual weekend ski trip. We usually make our trip to Marquette but this year we went to Petoskey area instead. Warren's joined us up there. Saturday was spent skiing at Nub's Nob (the kids loved the name of that one!) and Monday we skied at Boyne Highlands. Sunday we woke up to rain (at 26 degrees out) and Meeting was canceled. The Hotel where we stayed had a nice area downstairs to curl up in chairs to visit and read. We joined Warren and Elizabeth down there and the kids hung out in the rooms. Sunday evening we ordered pizza delivered to the room for the kids and Wayne and I enjoyed eating in the restaurant downstairs. Driving home was a pain (thank you, Wayne, for driving!) with yucky roads and weather, but we made it. I'd love to head back to MT for skiing again sometime, though!

Goodbye to a dear part of our family.

We had to have our Kate put to sleep last night. She has been a part of our family for eight years so she is leaving a big empty spot. Cancer had started to spread all through her and it wouldn't have been much longer for her.
