Christmas 2008

PhOto ShOoTs!

I know I posted the first one quite awhile ago but here are some more of the pics we took using the timer on our camera. Not too bad considering we went a little too late so the lighting wasn't the greatest.

You've probably figured out that one of my 'hobbies' is photography. I love taking pictures and having fun editing them. :) Well my sister-in-law asked if I would take their family pictures and of course I was more than happy to. I thought they turned out pretty well so I figured I would share some of them.

I had to have more of us too!

School cancelled!?!

So it has been cold and snowy down here this week and we woke up this morning to this!

I was getting the kids ready for school this morning and luckily Chris was on the phone with Shannon and she told him that Washington county cancelled school today. Well we had no idea since we didn't watch the news last night. So thanks Shannon, I would have sent my kids to the bus stop. I know it doesn't look like much to those of you that live up north, but it said this is the first time in 10 years they have cancelled school because of the snow. I know, it seems crazy to me too. I guess they aren't equipped for snow removal? Mylee was actually upset that they didn't have school, but she got over pretty quick. We dug out the old snow stuff (luckily Libbey had given us a snowsuit her girls wore for Kinny or she would have been out of luck) and Chris took them outside to build a snowman. They have had so much fun out in the cold wet snow.
Well I better get ready and finish all the stuff I have waited until the last minute to get done.
Merry Christmas!
(I can't believe it is next week!)

Happy Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to our Bode! We can't believe it was 5 years ago that Bode joined our family. What a whirl wind it has been ever since. For those of you who know Bode, it is never a dull moment. He is an extremely energetic child that can not hold still for anything. He is a sweet heart though, he came to every one of us this morning and said 'it's my birthday, can you give me a hug?' What a kid!

Oh! I took him to the doctor yesterday to have his ears checked since he has been acting like he's not hearing very well again, and we have to take him to the E.N.T. tomorrow. The pediatrician used some instrument that blows air then sucks the air to see how much the ear drum moves, (a line is supposed to spike up into a little box) both ear drums have no movement at all (the line was totally flat for both ears). So we will let you know what the E.N.T. says. I'm guessing tubes again.

I have so much more to post but don't have the time right now. I can't wait for Christmas break!
