It's Cold!



Dork












Yikes, the weather sure changed quickly! We officially have winter weather! My car was covered with ice this morning. Makes it feel more like the holidays.
Today was my last day of Microbiology! I kind of can't believe it is over. I won't have any homework or studying to do for quite some time.
Work is going pretty good. I think I've finally got the hang of it. The tips are amazing! Our family's new schedule is kind of crazy. Seems like only one of us is home at a time with Ella. Charley is always working late and it seems like I am at work the days he gets off on time.
Ella had quite a rough week last week. On Tuesday I accidentally shut her finger in the car door. She had stuck it in the front of the passenger door while I had the door open. As soon as I shut it I saw her standing there and it took her a couple seconds to realize what had happened. I quickly opened the door and she screamed for about 10 minutes. The poor baby! Then on Thursday night she flew off the couch and onto the floor slamming into the coffee table on the way down. She busted the inside of her lip open. There was blood streaming out of both sides of her mouth. It didn't seem to bother her much, but Charley took her to the doctor the next day to have it looked at. It turned out to be just a really bad scrape and thankfully has been healing on its own. On Sunday Ella had a fever and wasn't eating much. She didn't seem to come down with any real symptoms, so I'm guessing it has come and gone already.
Her newest favorite thing to do is play ring-around-the-rosie. She loves to say "ashes, ashes, ashes, ashes, ashes" over and over and then drop to her knees.

Annie,

Congratulations on getting an A in biology! You worked hard and it paid off. We definitely need to celebrate over lunch and yes, I will buy.

I'll be praying for acceptance into the nursing program. How exciting.

Love you so much,
Dad

Mema and Shea here!

Yes, many congrats to you getting an A!

Hopefully Ella has recovered from her rough week by now. We are a little behind on the updates. We missed you all during the holidays but hopefully in 2009 we will get to see each other at some point.

We love you!
