Sports Mania

In the video, Gevie is squatting way low. She was frustrated to go faster so I told her to bend her knees A LITTLE. I spent the next hour trying to convince her to stand up and bend her knees only. Better luck next time.

Gevie has become quite the sports person. This week has been a busy week for her with skiing on Sunday afternoons, dance on Monday, and swimming lessons on Tues. and Thurs. No, we don't plan on making her one of the kids that's carted all over the place, but she yearns to get out of the house and participate so we started dance, then skiing had a super deal on ski lessons (because we can't ski) and her friend from daycare was there. And of course, you all know about Gevie and the water, so swimming lessons were a necessity.

We probably only have one more day of skiing with the really warm weather. Gevie and Gideon are going, with I could video his way down. After he figures out how to stop and practices on the littlest hill, they will probably go down a real hill called "Big Bunny."

Dance and swimming are only til the end of March.

Alas, AnnaBelle is 2 and speaks mostly with "Uh huh" and "Uh-Uh" very emphatically on both accounts. She is fighting viruses for the last month or so again. We have an ear appointment on Friday in Duluth. Sara is headed for an allergy check-up and Gid is having ear problems again, so he has an appointment too. How great to get them all on the same day!

Post again when we get back. Picking up stuff to remodel the daycare bathroom!

    Maybe Gevie is just mimicking what she saw some of the Olympic skiers doing... they stay pretty crouched for a number of events. Her steadiness was very impressive!

    Way to to Genevieve! You and Oliver can be on a team together someday if you stick with it! Our hill closed yesterday, but we did get out one last time, O and mark anyway.

This is how we (as a family) feel today. I'll get pictures from Christmas up soon, but for now I figured I would at least post something so Kelley doesn't get on me again for not updating. =) We had a great Christmas with all our family and have had five seperate parties. We will head to IL soon for the last one. AnnaBelle was up for several hours last night again (1:30-3:30) and here I had gone to bed at midnight because Gid was at a fire. Two condos at Caribou Highlands are lost. He get home about 2:30 this morning. One of my daycare dads is a lutsen firefighter was there from about 9:30pm- 6:30am. Eeeww! But because all the teams did there jobs, it was only the unit that started it and one next to it. So anyway there is my update. We are all tired because AnnaBelle was crying and pulling on her ears again and because Gid was firefighting. AB has a appointment tomorrow afternoon. I am going to push for an allergy test (is that even possible?) and tubes for her ears. Sara

Thank you God, the teens are found!

This is actually turning out to be a good story, my brother said, "This was all you little sis" and I replied, "No, it was all God." So anyway here is my story. We still had not heard any word on Sunday. My mom has been working with the local police even though thier efforts were frugal at  the least. We did everything we thought we could do except wait for God's perfect timing. I had talked about this to my mom and we both had a feeling of peace about it.  On Sunday while I was at the doctor for another ear infection with AnnaBelle and then off to a Christmas party, a kid down the street got a call from Julie with a wild story and needing money. Somehow this kid Chris, didn't know about the drama down the street so he talked to her and said he didn't really have any money to give. Later when he got his computer back on line he saw the notices about Julie. So my mom got a call, "I think I might know where Julie is." Yeah! She had used a phone a...

Too much computer

Is this my hint that I spend too much time on the computer? I am currently having technical problems with a site called Smarthinking. It's an essay review site, I had a heck of a time logging in and submitting my paper, and now I can't go get my corrected one! It's due tomorrow night so hopefully I can get it and do the last minute revisions I know they'll point out. Otherwise, Sara and the kids are sick with a head cold. I am trying to type and deal with my nose running at the same time. Yeah I know more than you needed to know. We have the appraisal for our house tomorrow morning so pray for a high number! REALLY HIGH like 255,000. AnnaBelle still only takes about 5 steps, but now SHE SLEEPS THROUGH THE NIGHT! Oh I am so excited, she is sick and still sleeping through the night!! After I get used to this it is time to pull the plug (pacifier). She only has it at bed to go to sleep so her days are numbered anyway. I'll have to get a picture of "Princess Pouty ...
