Summer Wrap Up

Here is Isaac's "jet ski" hair! He loved going to the cabin and riding the jet ski for hours at a time!

You know it is hot out when the dog lays on the air conditioning!!

Spring?

It really feels like spring around here. It was 70 degrees today, and warm yesterday too. We went for a walk yesterday around our neighborhood and visited with several neighbors that we haven't talked to since fall. Isaac and the neighbor girl have played together two days in a row now; riding bikes, playing soccer, playing baseball, and throwing snowballs. And the dog is too wet to be allowed in the house, so it must be spring!!

Feels Like Summer

This week felt so much like summer at our house. Ok, not the weather...that was kind of cold. I mean with our schedules. We didnt have anything that we HAD to do this week. No speech all week, no OT, no swimming lessons, nothing. And it was soooo awesome! We slept in until like 8 every morning. We stayed home two days this week. And the other days we did fun things like a playdate with friends that we haven't seen for a while, and took a trip to the heritage center. Isaac loves it there, but we hardly get there. Next week, we jump back into a packed schedule.

Ugh

It is raining today. It has been raining, thunderstorming, even snowing, and very windy all week! yuck-o!

I really hope we get some good camping weather sometime this summer.

Spring

It has been so nice out lately. We have been able to play outside almost every day. I love this picture of Isaac. It was so nice out that day. But with all the snow we got this winter we still had a pile of snow to play in.



Look, you can see the swings, it must be spring...

This is what our yard looked like in December....

Spring?

Isaac decided that he would really like it to be "spring outside, not just on the calendar!" Hopefully it will be coming soon...

Floods

Wow, what a week, from an ice storm to a blizzard to a flood. Our side of the river is fairing pretty well. Our house is in no danger, but so many houses and businesses are being flooded. Isaac's school is most likely in water. Also, his speech therapy center. I feel so badly for all those affected and encourage all of you to add them to your prayers.

Here are some pictures from around the area:

UPDATE: Isaac's school did not get any water in the building so they are up and running again.

Blizzard

Apparently this winter is never going to end. We are getting hit with a huge storm. I think we have had every kind of precipitation that exists in the last 24 hours: rain, hail, snow, etc. School has been canceled in our town today. Our Moms Night Out has been canceled. (Bummer) Even the snowplows have given up. Todd went in to work but came home at noon. I put some soup in the crockpot and will probably have to bake something. What else can you do on a day like this but eat and sleep and read?

Spring fever

The weather is just beautiful here today! I think we got up to 40 degrees today! (Yes, above zero.) I even decided to Barbeque for supper!
