Valentine's Day Tradition

We went to dinner at Cheddar's tonight! Our tradition for 16 years! Dave and I came to Lansing on Valentine's Day for a job fair (where he got hooked up with Auto-Owners which brought us to Lansing right after we got married) and we went to dinner at Cheddar's and got engaged!!


We started taking the kids a few years ago and now we can't go without them! It's our tradition!

So here's Dave with his Valentine girls...

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Another Snow Day?!

This is the view out our window right now. This morning we had just a dusting left from our snow day on Friday. Today, we are expected to get 4-6-8-10 inches (depends on who you listen to at any specific moment!)

I drove home from work at 1:30p.m. and slid onto our street. We had maybe an inch. I left a few minutes early to pick up Kelly at 2:30 and the roads were quite a bit worse, more sliding! The school let the kids out early so the buses could get a head start so they wouldn't be so late picking up the elementary kids. I had to mail a letter and drop off a girl down the street so we were probably gone for about 20 minutes. My tire tracks in the driveway were already filled in when we got home.

I went to pick up the elementary kids early and dropped off a few more kids and by the time we got home, my tracks were filled in again.

It's snowing non-stop! We'll see if we have school tomorrow. It will depend on when the snow stops!

Dave is on his way home from Swartz Creek right now...we'll see how long it takes him! We're praying for a safe ride for him! (And for another snow day!)

Snow Day!



We had the day off of school yesterday--due to 7 inches of snow! We played outside for a little bit and then went to a nearby park and went sledding! We were the first ones there with the fresh snow so we made new trails with our sleds! It was so fun. We ended up with a lapfull of snow by the time we got to the end of the hill.




It was also our friend, Sydney Riekse's 12th birthday so we brought our spa stuff over to their house and spent the afternoon soaking, scrubbing and putting lotion on our feet. (Well, I did it to the girls feet!)
Today, we are heading out to do a fun badge for Abbey's girlscouts called Frosty Fun where we play in the snow! A perfect day for it!
