Spring is Near!

The kids really enjoy sledding. Grandpa Tudor ended up buying a steerable (sp?) sled so that the kids can go down the driveway on the upper property. It's just so nice to see the smiles! They are few and far between!

Andrew quickly got too cold, and decided he wasn't that interested in sledding. Jimmy was also a tad undecided, as I think he also got too cold. Bowen and Emma were definitely hooked, however!

I don't recall if these pictures of the kids sledding were posted or not. Here ya go!

Also, here's a shot of Andrew's 3rd Birthday. Jimmy is famous for trying to blow out other people's candles, so Bowen is seen here covering his mouth! Sadly, when Jimmy had his birthday in January, Bowen blew out his candles and Jimmy was devastated...maybe he'll learn something about that!

I'll have to dig out some more pictures and get them reduced so I can get them posted.

It's been a long, snowy winter, but finally it looks as thought spring has arrived! Today is very sunny, and is very close to 50 degrees out. No wind to speak of today, though it has been very windy the past few days here in Soap Lake!

The kids have been busy with school or illness. We've had a cold/stomach virus being swapped around between each of us, and it seems to be on its 3rd go-round! Maybe once the kids can play outside in the sunshine, they'll get over this bug! I'm looking forward to the sun, and being outside.

Here's Emma with Aunt Heather. So photogenic! Heather was here for a short visit in August (?) and the kids learned that they really like playing pirate!

I started on thyroid replacement medication about 2 weeks ago. It seems to be helping my energy level a bit. That's a great improvement considering how exhausted I was after the surgery. Here's to the upcoming spring! I'm looking forward to it!
