do me a favor!!!

I am using my blog today to ask that if you read about our family that you take today, tonight, tomorrow or whenever you choose to pray to please say a prayer for my Nanny!
She has been having some health problems for awhile and in the past couple months they seem to have worsened.
Her name is Jan and she is an amazing woman! She is very active in her Church and being sick has enabled her to teach the woman in her bible study class. As I talked with her today I could hear the weakness in her voice. I told her I would be asking all of my friends to Please Pray for her! So here I am asking all of you to add her to your prayers! I Thank You all from the bottom of my heart and I know she appreciates your prayers too!!

She...

Loves her Converse!!
Loves her Skates!!
Has a very contagious laugh!!
Has her Daddy's eyes!!
Loves anything with a PeAcE sign and is the color green!!
She is an awesome little sister and an awesome big sister!!
She paints her owns nails, she does her own hair, gets herself ready for school! Is always talking or texting with her friends.
She....
is growing up so fast!!

I have been blessed!

He....
makes me smile!!
I was thinking last night about how truly blessed I am! With all this weather drama...yes it is still yucky here...I look around my house and I am blessed! I mean I am really blessed!!
Even when my dining room has been turned into little tykes play land...
I am blessed!!
Some people don't have food to eat, let alone a dining room!! Some kids don't have toys to play with, let alone enough little tykes toys to make a play land!! I am blessed!!
Even when my 3 year old is STILL using marker to color my walls...ahem
or himself!!!
I am blessed!!
And so is she...
before we know it, she will have a little tykes play land in her home, and marker on her babe, and staring her blessing in the eyes only to wonder...how did this time go by so fast!!
BLESSED!!!

snow update**

We are surviving the snow storm!! We are still in a level 2!! I think the snow has stopped?! The winds did not get as high as they said!! However the snow is still drifting on the roads!! And I just got a call from the school that we are on a 2 hour delay, with possible change if the roads worsen!!
We are keeping busy!! Lovie is probably wishing he was working!! But I am grateful that he is home....my kitchen and living room are sparkling clean!!! TOP TO BOTTOM!!! Speaking of top to bottom.....
NOW THAT WAS FUN!!!!!

Random-ness?!

It is COLD here!!! I mean COLD...like nose hairs freeze when you walk outside, COLD!!
Friday the kids got out of school early due to the storm. We spent the evening in. It was nice. I was starting to think that there was no storm coming...BOOM!! It hit! High winds and LOTS of snow! By 9pm we were in a level 2. By Saturday morning the storm had came and went. Today it is still COLD!! It looks really pretty around here....
I ask myself often....why do we live in this state? I do like season changes. Maybe that is why? Maybe it is that our families are here? Maybe it is that my loving husband has a good job here? Could be many reasons?! Still I like season changes! I guess maybe I just like some to stay longer than others....and winter....it can GO anytime now!!!
Did you hear my bedroom screaming this morning? If not I am shocked!!! It was having a really hard time breathing...due to the.....
dust!!!!! Wow!!!
Okay...better.....still having trouble breathing due to the fact that I really needed to put these clothes away....
how sad is that?! They are clean clothes!! I just needed to hang them up!!! Easy enough!!!
DONE!!! Much better!!!
Now I can get back to putting all of my pictures on discs!!!
Oh and waiting on the next storm...UGH!!!!
Come on Spring...PLEASE hurry!!
