A busy month

Wow-I didn't realize it has been a month since our last post. We have been very busy! The kids had a visit from their Aunt Beth and some of their cousins over the Presidents' Day weekend. Sadly, I had to fly to Massachusetts for a funeral. It was a quick trip, but I was glad Beth was here as an extra set of hands while I was gone. When I got home, Matthew wasn't acting like himself and we ended up at the doctor. His fever was just under 102, but the doctor said it was viral. It turned into a lot of congestion and coughing which was quickly passed on to Anna Kate.

Both kids started feeling better just in time for our mini-snow storm. We got about 2 inches of snow last weekend. But, before the snow started, we lost power last Sunday. So, Brent hooked up the generator and we used electric heaters in the bed rooms. "Camping" inside might have been fun if Anna Kate didn't scream all night. Monday morning school was cancelled and the doctor's office didn't open until noon. When we got there, we found what I had expected-she has her first ear infection. She finally seems to be feeling better-so we are thankful for that!

Nana has been good about taking some pictures-so they are all thanks to her!
