What a day!

The weather is wonderful! I have just finished shoveling off most of the deck. We now only have one little patch of snow/ice that is stuck to the deck. Otherwise, NO SNOW on the deck. The yard and driveway are another thing all together. It is a muddy, muddy place to be. My cousin Chris and his wife Krissy were here. They brought up their son, Patrick Harold. Harold was my grandfather's name. He is such a sweet baby. And so tiny. Not quite as small as Mallory, but tiny all the same. He is 2 weeks old.

Today was Shelby's birthday. She turned 3. Unfortunately, Shelby and her sister Maribel were the only ones here today. Ava and Thomas have been sick with flu since last Friday. But we did celebrate. We had hamburgers and french fries for lunch and chocolate cupcakes with cherries for snack. I think this is my new favorite meal. We were able to help the girls make their valentine's mailbox and the love bugs for their parents.

Otherwise, not much new here. We finally got all of the christmas/winter stuff put away this past weekend and got out the valentine's decorations. These will stay up until March 1st, when we will start with St. Patrick's day.

Talk to you all soon.
