Beets and Beans

Beans and Beets.

I had to also let go of my garden, now in the hands of Todd.

He has been making a special 'chicken-poo-tea' recipe for them that he found in a gardening magazine and has been been tending to them daily. He recently added a grow light.

We also have lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, & sunflowers.

In addition we'll be adding peppers, carrots, and some other house favorites.

We didn't have to buy much produce last summer, hopefully we won't have to buy any this summer.

Bring on Spring.

Happiest Girl In The World

Of course Edie had all the nurses, doctors, anethesiologit, and staff smiling with her easy going attitude and contagious smile.

She did great! She had new bi-lateral tubes put in, and had her large overgrown adenoids removed that were actually growing up and over the eustachian tube. (That tube drains the middle ear) Dr. Spector said he didn't know how large they were untill he was in there, this could be the root cause of most of her drainage problems.

Edie took a little while in recovery, I could hear her and just wanted to be with ther. She came out on the guerney, covering her head with her tea party blanket. She laid in my arms the rest of the day and she was allowed to have endless ice pops and ice cream. By bath time and a second dose of ibuprofin she was feeling much better. She was up a few times in the night for a hug and drink.

Geesh! Cheer up Edie!!

A DECADE!!

Todd and I will celebrating our 10 year Anniversary this May.

A decade of marriage. ..a decade!

YAY us!!! I've been thinking of a way we could celebrate. A romantic weekend away, possibly a family camping trip? It all sounded fun. But we are talking about a decade of hearts, flowers, tears of joy & pain. Let's not forget the babies...lot's of babies, smiles, laughter and most importantly LOVE. How could I possibly put all of this into one thoughtful 'gift' that truly reflected our 10 year journey. I looked up the symbols of the ten year anniversary. The results were diamonds, tin and aluminum, hmmm. That's a tough one. I'm all set with diamonds, and tin and aluminum sure there are some creative gift ideas but would any of them reflect our triumphs and tribulations after a decade of wedded bliss.

NO.

So I registered us for THE WARRIOR DASH!!

Yeah, that's a pretty good reflection!

Anyone else want to come and celebrate with us?

Snow/Ice Day

My gums are cold just looking at hers!!

She tried,...

...and tried...

...and tried...

Up didn't work, so down she came on TOP of the ice and snow.

I love the look on Edie's face when Rays bum fell through the crust.

Beef stew bubbling away in the crock pot, two warm fires glowing, snowflakes falling, and a special encore performance just for ME! I could not ask for a more perfect day!

Short Cuts

Hat's For Baby Alive!!!

For The Birds,

...snow birds that is.

Mom, this ones for you :)

Movie Night

Friday nights are usually our family movie night. But I got a special surprise Sunday morning. Work called and said I didn't have to go in because of the blizzard coming. So I had an extra day off (of course with it being the 26th I took ALL the decorations down and had a day to clean)followed by my regular day off. That is a 3 day stretch of family fun! So of course we threw in a movie night. Couches were moved, popcorn was popped in Todd's new WHirly Pop, jammies and cozy sockswere put on and we snuggled in as the snow fell.
