Catching up.  Busy week for family and all.  Just wanted to share this book with everyone.  It is a book that my school librarian had displayed in her window.  It is for kids, reading level 9 years old and up, but I plan on reading it to Lil E.  Adults would love it too.  It is a very quick read because there are a lot of great illustrations that carry the story along.  I highly recommend that you check it out.  

Family had an emergency on Wed. eve.  Mom got taken to the hospital because of severe pain in her back.  It turned out that she had a very large kidney stone that was causing the intense pain.  She was admitted early Thurs. morning after I left.  I was able to see her on Thursday and she finally was out of pain, because they had her on some strong meds.  She didn't go into surgery until after 7:00pm.  Thank goodness they took care of it surgically verses seeing if it would pass on its own.  That would have been too painful.  Stopped by Starbucks to pick up a coffee and saw this nice mirror arrangement there.  It looked so cozy especially since it was rainy and cold.
View from hospital.  Weather turned really bad on Valentine's Day.  A lot of snow up in the mountains.  

Lil E had a fun day with his friends at school. He made this really cute Valentine card too.

Greg is sleeping still.  He is trying to catch up on all his lost sleep.  Here is a shot of the roses he sent for V-Day.
