The Cold Brings Colds
















This week was full of fun, snow, and a couple colds. We started the week with a ton of snow, which is beautiful and quite cold, it has been below freezing daily, so no walks for us. We are all terrain, but not all weather, moms! But it gave us a chance to play in the snow. Ellie was not much for sledding, but she loved using my snowballer to make snowballs and throw them! Jaron, he didn't love it as much. Then Tuesday was our Program Christmas "Party" down in Fresno. So we dropped the kids at the Sees house and went to dinner with the Program department and then headed to a minor league hockey game-Go Falcons! It was a good learning experience, I think they must have a fight quota they have to meet, because within the first couple minutes they had two fights, which seemed to come out of nowhere, but then that was it, the rest of the time, they just played hockey. Weird. But we got some good broom hockey ideas, which is really our sport. Well, that morning the kids had woken up with runny noses, but Erin said to still bring them, and they were good for her, but at around 11pm poor Ellie started waking up like every hour. The crazy part is, she was staying upstairs and we were staying down, so she would walk in the pitch dark all the way down to our room each time. At about 5am I decided to just stay and sleep with her. Good decision, we finally got a couple hours of sleep in a row. Wednesday, we did some shopping and errands and then headed back up to the chillyness. The kiddos are getting better it seems and we just had a fun evening where Rich pulled out his guitar and we sang together. First Ellie had her microphone and would do her best to sing along, even if she didn't know the song, then she switched it out for her guitar, so she could rock with dad! So Cute!
