Cute Pics

Eliza taking a cat nap (well, me, too) the Sunday before Christmas. You may see that she has a red mark right under her right ear. The pediatrician said it was a hemo....something and would go away around age 2. And the date on the picture is wrong. Gotta change that.

Had I sent a Christmas card/birth announcement, this is the picture you would have seen. Yeah, shoulda coulda woulda. I'm lucky I got the picture taken at all. Hey, I got something done when the boys had a snow day after all! Eliza will be 4 mo. on Feb. 2, so I think this counts as a 4 mo. picture.

School....

School...to be or not to be, that is the question. We have yet to have a full week of school since Christmas break. Storm after storm after storm. Wind, ice, snow, more wind. It is crazy!!!

The other night I woke up at 3a (normal in my world) and noticed how cold it was in our house. Looking at the thermostat, I saw it was 57 degrees in our house when it was supposed to be 65 degrees. I notified Eric (the resident repairman) and he braved the cold to find out the snow had drifted over our furnace's exhaust pipe (that isn't what it's really called, but I don't know the right name). Anyway, when that happens, the furnace automatically shuts off. Nice.

Today the boys got up and having had very little or no school the past two days, Danny had to check to see if there was a delay. What he discovered instead was that the normally scheduled early out for today had been changed to a full day. The boys were not pleased.

I'm procrastinating unloading the groceries-we go through almost a gallon of milk a day, cleaning up the house, and getting supper started. But oh how I love that short time of day when everything is quiet because both girls are sleeping. Too bad there is no time for a nap. :)
