Finished Baby Room

Finally finished everything in the baby's room... got curtains, washed all the bedding and purchased baskets for the changing table. We are ready for our baby boy to arrive... though not too soon!!!

Sledding on a Sunday

We took the boys sledding on Sunday afternoon. They had a blast.... Shawn even met a telephone box up close and personal (that was scary!). If you look between the trees, you'll be able to see where he got the one on one introduction.

We met our neighbors (sort of - Their grandparents live right next to us) at the hill. It is amazing how the kids have all grown during the winter.

One more trip down the hill!!!
Time for a break .... funny how Shawn is always ready for a photo.

The afternoon was filled with fun... however, we had to teach the boys about safety. Unfortunately another child created a jump and after going over it, got hurt very badly. They had to call 911 and the person was taken away on a stretcher/ambulance.

It could have been Shawn with his telephone box incident. They just think they are invincible and sadly, as parents, we know they are not.

Snow Storm

Just a quick little update....

We are now at 32 weeks pregnant, patiently awaiting the arrival of our baby boy. We are still taking name suggestions... hoping to settle on something so he is not called baby boy Thomson in the hospital.

Today was supposed to be my one day off without anyone else at home, and I got to be the stay at home mom and go to my kids' Valentine's Parties. I had grand hopes of cleaning, relaxing and getting ahead on my homework. Well, that all came to a crashing halt at 5:45 this morning. The kids' school called off school with the "prediction" of snow. At 8:00 there still was no snow even falling. I was more frustrated than ever. However, shortly thereafter (around 9:00) we got a few flurries. As we drove to have the van fixed, the snow increased. While getting the van fixed, Chad called to say that Offutt Air Force Base was closing. Great!!! Now I have everyone home with me instead of no one.

Overall - the day turned out good. The weather did end up being pretty bad. We probably have at least 6 inches of snow on the ground and it is still snowing. It just goes to show that your day might not always turned out as you planned, but alternate plans can be just as good.

The boys are visiting their mom (she is in Omaha) for the next two nights. Chad and I are going to actually go to the movies and dinner for Valentine's Day.

Hope you all have a very happy heart day and spread the love to those around you.
