end of week.......start of week

Trying to decide if Sunday means the end of a week or the start of a week! It is fa-reezing in Ohio! The real temperature is 6 - not sure of the wind chill! Brrrrrr.
Van is to come home from the hospital today. It was a week ago last night that Linda took him to the ER (as he kept telling her to run the stop signs!) and only 4 days after his double bypass surgery. I think they are both ready for him to come home!
Today is laundry and MAYBE some cleaning. Tomorrow there is no school - think we are going to Ft. Wayne.

thanks to Ann

Well, I just made my first eBay sale! Thanks to Ann and all her patience with my questions that I usually ended up figuring out on my own - if I had just taken the time to check things out before bugging Ann!
So, it was fun and I'm thinking I am ready to do it again! :)

quiet and ......

It sure is quiet around here and I don't really like it! I miss all the giggles, the sound of little feet running around the house and , yes, even the occasional screaming and crying! Are you all getting tired of me saying how much I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED having everyone together at home for the holidays?

perfection

IF there is such a thing as the perfect Christmas - this would have to be it in my book! It has been so much fun having everyone together these past couple of weeks. And I loved, loved, loved having all the kids at home for Christmas! perfection.

just waiting

Even though I am off this week - it was still nice to know there was no school today. I know all the teachers appreciate the extra time to get ready for the holidays.
So, we are just sitting hear anxiously waiting to hear from Todd's whether they will be coming to Ohio! He should be seeing the doctor soon, then we will know whether to go with Plan A or Plan B! :-)
Hey! Made my first JF purchase today - so excited!!!

ahh....the ice!

We have had a lot of ice here since yesterday morning - so no school today! We didn't have school last Wednesday because of snow - I could get used to these 4 day work weeks!
At least Kami's got here Friday night so we could finally celebrate Alex's birthday. I think he liked his rocket cake - and if you use your imagination it actually looks like a rocket! They left Sunday morning and had ice until Marion, but made it home safe and sound.
Today was kind of a lazy day. Finished decorating yesterday, so had time to play on the computer today - which I haven't done for awhile! Worked on a Christmas webpage and now I'm getting ready to write a little Christmas letter for those without computers.
Still seems funny not being in California. It was nice spending so much time with Todd, Ann and the girls.

when thank you seems inadequate

Thank you seems so inadequate when telling people what their support and prayers have meant to us the past three weeks. We have been blessed in so many ways - from our supportive friends and family, to Todd's recovery and with the arrival of Rylan Grace!
So, as inadequate as it seems this "Thank you" comes straight from my heart!
