SMILES!

Kate is finally starting to whine a little less and smile a little more!!!

ICE ICE BABY!

Well, I've been waiting and waiting and winter is finally here!!! We've been hit! An ice storm hit a large part of the mid-west this weekend. We woke up Sunday morning to a stunning view out our window! I've never seen anything like it! It is absolutely beautiful! Everything was coated in about an inch of ice! Our church was cancelled Sunday and Jason's school was cancelled today. A lot of the Metro area is out of power, but so far we have lucked out! It is supposed to warm up some tomorrow afternoon, and the ice will hopefully start to melt, so cross you fingers that we last until then!

Kate finally has use for her winter hat!



Since I haven't had a chance to post for a while, I also wanted to add that Jason turned 25 on the first of the month! Aside from a hectic shopping trip to the mall and me almost burning the house down trying to cook a fancy dinner (no joke, there was a huge fire in our oven!) the day was pretty laid back! I made Jason 1/4 of a cake to commemorate him turning 1/4 of a century old (and because I ruined the rest of the cake)! Happy Birthday Jay! I love you!
