My sister and niece came to visit us a couple of weeks ago and we were so busy that we didn't take any pictures. Well, that's not quite true. We got our picture taken at Medieval Times but it's not a picture I am ready to share. It was such a nice week end.
Adding to that it has just been crazy busy here AND I have been sick and I NEVER get sick. It's driving me crazy. I not only sprained my back (probably lifting the 35 pound 2 year old LOL) I also have been struggling with a cold or flu or whatever it is it won't end. Poor Miss Molly has been struggling with a double ear infection as has our foster daughter. She has been keeping Tom hopping with appointments. Between the rotting teeth, all but non existent immunizations, constant runny nose, eating issues and delays it is just never ending to get her what she needs. We already love her.

| Even though we didn't get much snow this season the schools used up all their snow days on 'impending' weather. Between cancellations and delays they spent a lot of time together |
The end of February and we finally got some measurable snow
Too bad we happen to get stuck right in the middle of the storm
