Winter is really here





After the pleasant end of 2006 and beginning of 2007 I was beginning to get spoiled. But winter is officially back, it has been cold here all week. Only about 3 inches of snow on the ground though. I am not sure how well it is going to work for the snowman building and sledding that Justin has planned for tomorrow.

I haven't posted in awhile, not much newsworthy going on here I guess. We have all been ill once since the new year started, but everyone is well at the current time. Unless you count the fact that Kyle ended up with (another) sinus infection after his cold from 2 weeks ago and ended up on antibiotics (again) this week. They have kicked in quickly and his nose is finally clearing up. He does not like having a dirty nose and is constantly telling me "nose" so I will give him a tissue for his dirty nose.

Justin started Floor Hockey a couple of weeks ago and really likes it. Several of his friends from school are on his team. It is basically some padded sticks hitting a crochetted ball. No worries about injuries for this form of hockey. Justin was a little confused when we started, I think he was invisioning ice hockey. Now he tells me he wants to take more ice skating lessons so he can do ice hockey next year..... I convinced Gary he should help coach Justin's team and since Gary is one of three coaches I think he is enjoying it. Justin is number 7.

Gary has been working a ton the past few weeks, but we are looking forward to him staying home for the next four days. We are going to Frankenmuth (a little German town about an hour north of us) for an overnight stay at a waterpark hotel with some friends. We went once last winter and the kids loved it, so I am sure they will love it again. We haven't told them yet, we figure we will just show up there and suprise them. And to not break any traditions we will make sure we visit Bronners (the world's largest Christmas store) and go to the Bavarian Inn for our Chicken Dinner (yummy-yummy)!!!!

Take care, Danielle
