Nothing much new is with us. We have been inside since the insanely cold weather has hit! I took the kids out for a bit yesterday morning and Adi was already crying because her fingers were cold by the time we got out to the Jeep! It was a miserable half our it took for us to run to the Pig! ;) So, after naptime, we go down into the basement (while I get some laundry done) and the kids play with their outside toys while I fold. Today we were going to visit my Gram, but she wasn't feeling well, and Ben asked that I not take the kids anywhere in case the Jeep decided to feel the cold too, and decide not to start or something. Good call. So instead here we sit and watch the Jungle Book while I blog and then we are going to play Play-Doh while I clean :) Sounds fine to me! I am excited to today because Emily should find out if we are going to expect to be Aunt and Uncle to a niece or a nephew! I prayed before bed last night that the little one would cooperate so they can in fact see the... well you know... or lack there of of the, you know... So, we'll see!!
I am thankful to be in today, it is just too cold. I think that I am going to need to run to the grocery store yet again for some food. Anyhow, I need to get to work with Wyatt on his work book that we do. He learns a lot while we work on it, just gets impatient or finds it fun after a little bit of studying, that it would be better to scribble all over the page! No biggie! We just need to work on some shapes and colors. Do you even know how had it is to work with a toddler though that would rather just say "I dunno..." Oh well though if I am patient and persistant with him, he does very well. Guess he must not love structured study (gee I wonder where on earth he gets that from?), but we are going to work on it!
I started the Perspectives on World Missions class this past week, which was wonderful! I have reading and homework to catch up on, so I am going to be starting that today as well!
Anyhoo just a small update. Nothing too exciting going on!

End of Flu... FINALLY!
Well it looks like our baby has finally recovered from her almost 6 days of having a stomach virus. Poor girl. We stayed home from church this morning because of it though, we didn't want to infect anyone!
We have been home A LOT lately... which is kind of a bummer :( Hoping to get out an actually have something to talk about next week sometime!
Next week is kind of a big week though...My sis starts her new job Monday! Congrats Kir!
~ Nie is back next Friday! After 5 months of recovering at the hospital from a private plane crash, she is returning to her blog to tell her story... I am SO excited about that

My favorite Christmas pics!
We took these at the Waukesha Floral and Greenhouse. They turned out Great!Sick day #2
Eventhough Adalai was the sickest of us today, she still insisted on wearing a cape around the house...
Wyatt has laid on this couch, all day... but has been upbeat... pictured here with sick food #1 : White Soda!
kids with their sick foods #2 and #3... popcorn and popsicles!Sick Day
Two baby pukers + one sick Momma = lots of work for weary Daddy
That was the day yesterday. Ben came home from working overtime at about 3am... slept for about an hour and a half, and then I had to get him up to take over because poor little Wy was throwing up and I couldn't handle it. He played doctor all day and cleaned the house for me. What an amazing husband I had. Then at about 5:30pm last evening, he went to work for a 10 hour shift, on one and a half hours of rest the night before. AND w/o a complaint. I am so amazed. I pray that I can handle those situations with as much poise and contentment as he did. I am astounded. He is amazing.
We had quite a bad day yesterday. This morning seems to be going so much better. Now that it is our normal lunchtime, we have just had breakfast because the kids slept until about 9:30am. That shows me that they were really sick, because they never outsleep me!

Cool toy we got Wyatt yesterday
Grams gave the kiddo's each some cash for Christmas... Wy chose this toy.
His Daddy got him all set up... and he was running around pretending to be a motorcycle... He is wearing it, and eating toast this morning. He thinks it is super cool to play a cop!
He even shared w/ his sister. So adorable! Thanks, Doms!Sunday, January 4, 2009
I won't go into too much detail on this subject, but I had a lovely time w/ my Dad, last night. We haven't seen eachother in about a year, but we ended up spending some time with him yesterday and I had a great time. ( actually really weird that I am able to say that, but I am so thankful!) I am going to try and set up a game night again with him and my sister, and Grandma, to try to do what I can to keep a relationship with him, for my sake, and my kids.
Today, I am excited to go to church. I haven't been to church in what seems like a really long time, so I am excited to see my friends. Kir works in the nursery too, so that is great! Then, I am stopping off at the sporting goods store because Gram gave me some cash for a gift, and I want to pick up another Camelbak bottle!!
