birthday girl - snow day - back to work...OH MY!!

I meant to post a wonderful birthday post for Quinnie yesterday...but we had so much fun with birthday gatherings, and preparing for them that...it didn't happen.

Sooooo...

It was a beautiful unseasonably warm day 10 years (and one day) ago, when cute little, 7lb. 7oz. Quincey Hope came into this world...and our world hasn't been the same since. She has become quite the girl...she can love you like crazy...or not love you just as much...and honestly all in the space of a minute. She is helpful and caring, she love to read and write...and she keeps life interesting thats for sure.

Below is a self portrait of Quinn...she took it herself with her new camara...I think we may need to add photographer to her "resume"??

WE LOVE YOU QUINNER!!


We spent another day cooped up in the house...I have already voiced my opinion on snow days...enough already with the snow machine mother nature.

And...Cam headed back to work today after his 2 week lay off. HORAY!!! (yet another reason for the snow machine to be switched off). Of course the return to work came with a price, I am a single mom for the week. But...we are praising the Lord, work is work, and we will take it...no matter where it may bring us. If you could pray for safty and sanity for Cam and I this week that would be wonderful.

SNOW DAY...OH YEAH!!! (insert sarcasm)

I will have to admit that upon hearing the weather forecast I so badly wanted a snow day today...that is... I wanted Davenport to have a snow day today. I have said before that our family(actually the youngest members of our family) just really seem to have trouble getting along. But...in their defence...and much to my surprise...they are doing quite well today. It started out a little rough...but we manged to successfully tidy up the house with no major battles, and we even took a trip to Charlies dump for about a half an hour of sledding, and much to Haidyns' delight...facewashing.(she was the facewash-er...not the fasewash-ie)

It is currently rather peaceful (don't worry, I just knocked on wood...I know better). They are all upstairs playing together, I have no idea what...and I am not going to venture up there to see...I do hear the occasional pitter patter of feet...and a word or two from all three...sooooo...I will leave it at that, no one is screaming, I don't think anyone has been bound and gaged...who'da thought it could happen??
