Time flies when you're having fun!!! Happy Valentine's Day!! It really isn't a holiday we participate in, John is so good to me all year long that there really isn't a need for a once a year reminder that he still loves me.
We are enjoying our time with Adam and Maria while they are with us, possibly for another two months. Cindi and I planned a joint activity days activity this week that went really well. All the girls get along so great that the hardest thing for me is keeping their attention. They just want to play and visit with each other.
Monday Brigitte had a raging fever, of course I didn't believe her when for the previous week she had complained of a sore throat, so on a horrible snow day we are driving to the doctor's office. We watched people spinning donuts in front of us to find out that she had strep throat. O.k., maybe she really hasn't been feeling good for a while and I am the mother of the year that brushed off all her complaints. How do you know when they really are sick though and not just trying to get out of work?!
Last night we went to a college hockey game and my alma mater won!!!! Yay!!!! It was a total blowout!!! Before the game we all skated for an hour and Brig got to show off her moves. She had people on the ice applauding her and talking to her after the skating session. It really made her day!

Where does the time go? It's already been another week and I am amazed that it's flown by so quickly! Wednesday was sooooo busy, we had four birthdays!!!!! My very adorable niece Zoe was 1!!! My other very cute niece Morgan turned 6, and Brigitte's two friends both turned 10!!!! February 4th must be one of the busiest days in maternity wards!!!! Today my nephew had his birthday as well, Happy Birthday Christian, I hear you had quite the party!!!!

Thursday and Friday we were lucky enough to have Madysen and Harrison come and stay with us while their parents went to Cancun!! Lucky!!! Harrison hadn't been feeling well, he had strep and was on amoxycillin. Today he woke up with the worst rash!!! He was allergic to it!! I had never seen anything like it. The rash didn't bug him but I felt so bad!!

As this week ends and a new one begins, I was just appreciating how very blessed I am to have the life I do with the problems I face. After seeing some of the trials of others, I will take my own any day. I know I keep promising pics, but they really are coming!!! It's just a little too late to get them downloaded tonight!
