Winter Blast
It is currently 24 degrees with a wind chill of 13 degrees. It’s been snowing since about 9AM yesterday, although surprisingly we haven’t had any accumulation. It’s just plain cold.

Ellie is 7 months old! She is such a happy girl. Whenever we go out, she smiles at everyone so she gets lots of attention. She is beginning to sit up for a few minutes at a time. She has been wanting to sit up for months now (it looked like she was doing crunches) so I’m sure she’s glad to finally see the world from an …

Hope you had a great day! He requested Dreamland for lunch. Then we had a man’s meal for dinner: steak, roasted corn, and mashed potatoes. And to top it off, we had a buttermilk cake!

We have now entered the “Why?” stage with Samantha. It started about a week or two ago. I have found myself amid philosophical discussions with my 3 year old.

Ellie is 6 months old! She was a sicko last week, so I was glad to get to the doctor on Tuesday. Turns out, she has an ear infection in both ears, just like her big sister! She has had a low grade fever, but other than that (which I attributed to teething), she hasn’t shown any signs of infection. She’s just so happy! …

We had a yummy meal tonight. I had a seminar to attend, so I knew it would be a long day. Since it was cold too, a crockpot meal was in order. Luckily, I had seen one recently that sounded good and super easy! Boy, it was both! I think I put it together in less than 5 minutes. Seriously. And Brian rated it a 9 out of …
