President's Day Weekend

We spent the 3-day weekend at the lake house with our good friends, Janette & Ken Siegel (and their 3 boys: Forrest, Quentin & Spencer). These are dear friends from living at Prairie Crossing. It was so fun to hang out with them - and have the boys all get along so well. We spent one day skiing - except for Janette & I, who kept the bar seats warm.

The season is changing - did I mention spring is my favorite? I can see the changes in the smallest things. Today the sun is shining in a different way. Maybe it is the lack of snow covering every inch of the ground.

Erika will be moving out of our carriage house on March 1st. I have already planned setting up all my quilting out there. This week I'm thinking of also starting all the seedlings out there too.

We will miss her living out there - but she is going to be coming back once a week so we will still have her around.

This photo was sent to me last night from Liz, it was from New Year's Eve from up at the lake.

Now I must go outside and get some of this gorgeous sunshine before it is gone.

Old Photos

My mother has just sent an email to the mass of our family requesting information on how we are doing, and in fact, that we are all still alive.

I guess it is time to update the blog.

We are under construction. It is supposed to be all in the basement - but it isn't staying down there. There is dust EVERYWHERE. And I forget every time we do construction that it happens. I hate it. Last night I said I wasn't making dinner - even though I cleaned up the kitchen because it was so dusty and disgusting. I keep dusting - it keeps getting dusty ------- argggghhhh

But, spring is in it's early stages. I LOVE being in seasons. Spring is my favorite. Last year we planted a ton of bulbs (well Erika planted them). I am eager to find the first ones.

When I felt the guilt from dear ol' Mom to post I went to see the last photo I uploaded. It was this one. Mom at Cody's baby shower. A baby shower he wasn't supposed to be at - but he arrived 3 weeks early, so he tagged along with us.
