11 years ago...
on a day equally as beautiful and warm as today...
Quincey Hope entered the world at 5:20pm.
I remember walking into the hospital and thinking how awful it was to have to spend such a beautiful February day...stuck inside having contractions! But...in the end we had our sweet Quinnie Hope!!

Happy Birthday Quinn
you've really grown into a personality all your own.
You're almost the strongest willed child I have ever met...
but...you always manage to impress me with how caring and kind you can be...
(when you want to).
Where have the years gone???

are you ready?
Ready for what you may wonder...
...ready to laugh of course.
Get ready for it...you may need a tissue or two.
Take a few deep breaths...
this good laugh will be courtesy of Haidyn...(were most laughs in this house come from)
So...
she came home from school, and proclaimed...as serious as could be...
"Mom the warthog saw his shadow, so we are going to have more winter!!"
OK...so if you can stop laughing for a second...really think about that...
aren't you glad you got the tissues??
Enjoy the 6 more weeks of winter!
Dang warthog anyway!!!

February...
Ok...so that totally crept right up on me. Does it not seem like just...yesterday we were ringing in the new year??? Why must time fly by?
Well...I have several times over the last few weeks thought of several great things to blog about...and then life happened...and I didn't sit down and blog about them. And...do you think that I can remember those great things now...of course not.
So...I will just post something funny...and maybe I will remember the great things
soon!
You might be from Michigan...
If you consider it a sport to gather your food by drilling
through 18 inches of ice and sitting there all day hoping that the food
will swim by, you might live in Michigan.
If you're proud that your region makes the national news 96
nights each year because Pellston is the coldest spot in the nation, you
might live in Michigan.
If your local Dairy Queen is closed from November through March,
you might live in Michigan.
If you instinctively walk like a penguin for five months out of
the year, you might live in Michigan.
If someone in a store offers you assistance and they don't work
there, you might live in Michigan.
If your dad's suntan stops at a line curving around the middle
of his forehead, you might live in Michigan.
If you have worn shorts and a coat at the same time, you might
live in Michigan.
If your town has an equal number of bars and churches, you might
live in Michigan.
If you have had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone
who dialed a wrong number, you might live in Michigan.
You know you're a true MICHIGANIAN/MICHIGANDER when:
1. "Vacation" means going up north on I-75.
2.. You measure distance in hours.
3. You know several people who have hit a deer more than once.
4. You often switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day.
5. You can drive 65 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging
blizzard without flinching.
6. You see people wearing camouflage at social events (including
weddings).
7. You install security lights on your house and garage and
leave both unlocked.
8. You carry jumper cables in your car and your girlfriend knows
how to use them.
9. You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a
snowsuit.
10.Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are
filled with snow.
11.You know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter
and road construction.
12.You can identify a southern or eastern accent.
13.Your idea of creative landscaping is a statue of a deer next
to your blue spruce.
14.You were unaware that there is a legal drinking age.
15.Down South to you means Ohio.
16.A brat is something you eat.
17.Your neighbor throws a party to celebrate his new pole barn.
18.You go out to fish fry every Friday.
19.Your 4th of July picnic was moved indoors due to frost.
20.You have more miles on your snow blower than your car.
21.You find 0 degrees "a little chilly".
22.You drink pop and bake with soda.
23.Your doctor tells you to drink Vernors and you know it's not
medicine.
24.You can actually drink Vernors without coughing.
25.You know what a Yooper is.
26.You think owning a Honda is Un-American.
27.You know that UP is a place, not a direction.
28.You know it's possible to live in a thumb.
29.You understand that when visiting Detroit , the best thing to
wear is a Kevlar vest.
30.You actually understand these jokes!!
