The Calm Before The Storm

Or not all that calm. The wind is blowing, but that is just the norm here anyway. Emma and I just finished her math at Starbucks and while she rewards herself by playing a few rounds of finger bowling on my phone I am sitting here wondering if I have enough groceries in the house to make it through round 2 of Blizzard 2011. More importantly do I have enough food to make it so that I don't have to go to the store with all the other crazy people. I've decided I have enough!

Where have I been?!?!?

I can not believe that our last post was in December.  This year so far has completely flown by!  We will start school in two weeks.  Emma will enter 1st grade this Fall and Blake will try his best to pay attention to his preschool studies! ;-) Tyler turns two in October (how the heck did that happen so fast?!?!) and we are booked every weekend until the end of the year.  My New Year's Resolution will be to slow down!

Winter in Oklahoma

Can you believe it was over 70 degrees in SW Oklahoma yesterday and now this? Like Will Rogers said: "If you don't like the weather, just wait 5 minutes!"

Our back deck

Drifts at the front door!

Guess the pumpkins are done...

Our front yard, about a foot deep!

Neighbors aren't going anywhere very quickly!

Hope everyone is safe this winter!

Being Silly!

Sometimes a Monday calls for some fun!

Blake took this one. He may turn out to be quite a photographer!

Blake without a funny face. Priceless and unusual!

This one didn't work out so well.

Emma took this one!

They do really love each other!

First Day of School

We officially started counting days of school today. However, since Emma couldn't stand to wait, she started her workbooks several weeks ago. We put into place our morning routine and were finished with Bible, Language, Math and our morning chores by 11 a.m. This afternoon we will finish getting ready for our first day of Co-op tomorrow. The kids are so excited to meet some new friends!

DC Trip - Second Stop

So, here we are, second night of the trip. After much weeping and gnashing of teeth, everyone is asleep and I finally have time to feed the Facebook addiction. Thought I'd actually post something here on the blog. This blog thing is so outdated... ;)

We drove through a rainstorm of epic proportions today. Felt like driving underwater at a few points. Took around an hour to go about 35 miles. I sure hope the weather moves on past us or North over the next few days. I really don't want to do that again tomorrow evening...
