This Week...

Ahhh, peace and quiet. Well, maybe not quiet since they are on the other side of this door, but definitely peace:) Michael has so fabulously taken the children for an hour while I get some ME time. Much needed. He has been very busy this week and staying late at work moving his clinic into the new building, an INSANE undertaking. The amount of stuff being moved is crazy. But the building is beautiful and once they are all settled, it will be a great change. SO, I'm catching up with my blog and pretending to do important stuff on the computer, but really, I'm just breathing and regrouping. This start to winter is a bit painful. LOTS of inside time and the kids and I have gone stir crazy. What else can we do? Shop? We have actually run out of stuff to buy and the errand thing gets old quickly. So, we have been playing inside a lot, which has actually been kind of fun. Yesterday I bundled up the kiddos and went for a walk. It felt great to get some fresh air. Sadie loved walking around the block and stepping in the snow. Skyler put on his snow boots and tromped through the snow that was left and had a great time....until he fell and his hands landed in the snow. (yes, I forgot the gloves...oops) You would have thought he landed in acid, but I'll cut the kid a break because he has been so sick the past few days. Fever, cold, and just plain lousiness. Very little sleep since he can't breathe and is all achy. It's so sad. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he feels better tomorrow since he has been miserable since Wednesday. I know Sadie is next and since she is a thumb sucker, colds don't do well with her. Have I mentioned how much I love winter????!!!! So here are some pics from the week....

Sadie and the pups checking out the snow.

These two were having a great time with this cool book...Thanks Uncle Matt and Aunt Maya!

The beginning of our first snow storm...I think it was a total of 1 1/2 inches which pretty much shut down the DC area for a while. Pathetic.

This poor boy:( Day 4 of the sickness.
