We’ve had a bit of snow, a lot of cold, and the kids have been sick.  I never realized how hard it would be to try to get them to do even a little bit of schoolwork when they are sick.  Well, actually they haven’t been this sick before.  My 2nd youngest makes it seem like she is dying, so I’ve been keeping them on the couch all week.  The youngest is a boy and so far he is still running around and we have to remind him to slow down 🙂

So yeah, I’ve been a bit quiet lately.  I’ve been reminiscing about growing up and I realized how fortunate I have been to have many people in my life.  I cannot even begin to say how thankful I am for their efforts, taking me under their wing.  It is a blessing – people can truly be a blessing…
