Nothing new, just updates

It has been just over a week since returning from our vacation to MI, for the Thanksgiving holiday. It was a fun visit with all 4 of my sisters who I don't get to see as often as I would like to. Lori is cute as a button with her big round belly that is due to expire today (her official due date), Rachael was busy with her new found hobby of sewing, Francie was generously filling my car with things she has decided to retire and Natalie shared her pottery so we could all paint together. There was more to the long weekend, like eating, shopping, eating, and... Well it did snow on Thanksgiving day. (I really hope I am not offending anyone here.)

Madeline spiked a high fever the last night we were there and it was the strangest thing. Uncle Adam stopped by Walgreen's and picked up some Motrine (and a stuffed dog, a barbie, a pretend cell phone)... let's hope he has boy's Natalie, or you might go broke, ha. Once Maddy took the medicine, she started to feel much better and by morning, you would have never guessed she was ever sick. The strang part is Jack did almost the same thing 2 days later. Only his started at school and lasted just 4 hours.

Yesterday was our first weather related day off from school this season. At first I was thinking how much stuff I was going to get caught up on. Then I remembered that Madeline was off from school too and I had a Dr. appointment for my shoulder injury.

I didn't get much done around the house because it took forever at dr.'s office; not including the time it took me to get myself and Madeline dressed for the weather, and clean off the car with one arm. She played in the snow at her cousins while I found out that the chances of my shoulder dislocating again is about 75% unless I have surgery. Yikes! Sucks for me. Thats another post though.

I hope that I get a call from my sister Lori today that tells me the baby is on his way. It is her 2 year wedding anniversayr as well as a special day for my sister Rachael. A year ago today, St. Petersburg, Russia, marks the anniversary of when she met her 6 year old soon-to-be daughter for the 1st time. Katya is such a special niece.

I do plan to post again soon. I just gota get going here before the big girl gets home or I'll never get anything elce done today.

And, its snowing again!!
