Snow Much Fun!

Well, we have survived a week of snow adn more snow and wind and did I mention snow?! School was delayed every day this week except for Monday. The kids did not have school today as it was already scheduled as a winter break. No school Tuesday and the kids and Eric (yes - he was off work) had an amazing day with the snowmobiles and a sled. Eric pulled the kids on a sled over the snow hills in our yard. It was so much fun they dented the new metal sled! After a quick nap when I got home, I joined them and we got both snowmobiles out. After Eric and I went for a short ride down the road, Eric and Garrett rode one and Kaylynn and I rode the other. It was an enjoyable time. Then the wind picked up and it was a good thing Eric decided to give a snow fence a try - saved his plowing needs the next morning.

We are headed skiing - or least the kids and Eric will be skiing - tomorrow. Us along with 2 other families will hit the slopes tomorrow at Swiss Valley and are planning to toboggan at Pokagon State Park on Sunday. Pray that we come home with everyone in one piece. I will try to post pictures after the fun! We are enjoying the Olympics opening ceremony now and then to bed for an early rise to head north.

Oh yeah - I got an injection today in my right knee - the first of 5 total. It was to put more joint fluid into the knee in hopes that it helps it to move smoother. So far just a little odd feeling in it. We will keep you posted.

  1. Never thought we'd be enjoying snow in Charleston, SC on the same day as you in Indiana...crazy!

    I hope your knee starts feeling better. Sounds like you have the opposite of my problem. I usually need to get rid of fluid on my knee...too bad I can't let you borrow some:) Hug Kaylynn and Garrett for me and tell Eric hello and glad his Saints are SB champs!

  2. Your post reminds me of days on the farm where 3 girls and a neighbor boy had loads of fun in the snow covered fields w/a snowmobile and a car hood and/or a garbage can lid! How lucky Eric was off on that day:) Love MOM
