Its Been TOO Long

 Sorry, it has been a long time since I posted something but we just haven't been taking pictures lately.  Not much to tell, we've just been making it through the winter like everyone else.  I did go in to school to help with the Valentine's day party.  Here is a great shot of Patrick with his friend Sydney and George doing his thing in the back ground.

We did have a photo session with our 2-year old last month.  This is the one we sent out.

This is the one I wanted to send but Mike thought it was too cheesy, which is why I love it.

 More cuteness.

At the end of February our church/school community was able to witness a miracle. A second grader at our school was diagnosed with leukemia last summer and its been a brutal battle.  But last week Grace Jenkins was allowed to come home and the whole school was out to greet her.  Her mother was kind enough to drive by the school where all the kids greeted her with signs and cheers.  It was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen and I'm grateful to have been a part of it.  

 The boys both had ear infections and the whole family was pretty congested.  George has officially been moved into the bottom bunk but he's still getting used to it, which means we have to sit on the floor next to him until he's quite.  On the upside, with the congestion gone, he's sleeping through the night and so are Mike and I.  Patrick continues to wow me with his reading (now at mid-first grade level!) and Becca is my helper here at home and working hard at school.  All in all, we're doing well and looking forward to getting outside a bit more this spring.
