Winter Break

Apparently we are having our winter break right now! We will be out of school for the whole week, Mon.-Friday! The kids are loving it. I would like to be more productive, but since they are home I will just consign to sitting around and watching movies and playing games and being grateful that we have electricity to entertain ourselves with. Crazy thing, Jarrod has gone into work everyday this week. He actually came home and spent the day at home yesterday, Wed. And he has gone in late (9am) most days, to allow time for roads to warm up. I wish I had to go to work somewhere, sometimes, just so I can escape and be productive. But I have to remember to be more like Mary, and not so much like Martha, (Luke 10: 39-42) "But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her." This is fighting against my natural man, but I will do it, because I know it is right!

This week has been good for Waveney. She has been sick with a sinus infection and running a fever. She has a bad cough and lots of congestion. This started last Thursday, and was worse, Sunday-Wed. and finally today she is much better, thanks to the antibiotics and other medicines! She is grateful she didn't have to miss any school due to being sick. I'm grateful she had stress free days to rest and relax. She has remained true to her spirit though, being the first one to finish her chores everyday, and first thing in the morning! She too will struggle to be more like Mary, rather than Martha. :)

Anyway, The kids are outside sledding and making a snow man. Here are some pictures of the kids adventures. I have a feeling I'll be outside soon romping around with the kids!
