Sarah, (with her fever still) watching "101 Dalmations" this morning. Sally heard all of the barking and had to come in and watch too!

My boy and I.

Sally got a little something for Valentine's Day too... here's "HEN reietta" the chicken (more like the LOUD chicken! )

Valentine's Day (and the night before!)

Eric and I have been married 12 years tomorrow!!! :)

Sarah with her gigantic hershey kiss she got for Valentine's Day. She doesn't take after her mother does she???!

Christian all a blur as he runs during a basketball game last night. Our raptors won 19 to 17.. whew.. what a game!!!


After the game we (Nancy/Mike and kids along with us) went to pick up Sarah and Shannon at their friend Cecily's house. Remember Cecily? A friend who suffered from E-coli poisoning in October... she's home now after being away for 3 months in the hopsital and a rehabilitation hospital in Boston. We're so happy to have her home! There she is seated on the right of Eric and that's her big bro Levy beside her. Lookin' good Ceci!!! Sarah and Shannon spent time with her while the boys had bball. It was the first time Sarah had seen her since she got sick. She was very excited to see her!!



Oh, and way to go Nancy and Eric.. run, run run!! (we had a little "wii fitness" party while there!)

Eric and Mike racing

Shannon and Sarah's turn... I'm regretting not trying out the games myself! Next time!

Christian and Sarah participated in an annual snow-shoe-athon today with Liam, Shannon and their Dad. Thanks Mike for taking the kids! :)

Here they are with the numbers from their jackets and the participation "metals". As you can see there was face painting too .

sick!

This is Sarah before the itching set in. She woke up like this Sat. morning (from head to toe..) and I rushed her into the doctor's office. We found out that Sarah is allergic to "bactrum" a medicine the Dr. put her on to try and get rid of a rash she had around her nose. They had tried an antibiotic cream first and it seemed to be working, then a different looking rash appeared a week or so later. It was reoccurring for over a month now. So this week we've been dealing with yet two more prescriptions to get rid of THIS rash. It's working, but then ( like a lot of kids in our school district) the flu set in.....

Christian shows Daddy his circuit he made in science class (after his basketball game last night, in case you were wondering why the shorts in below zero temps!!! :) )


Now demonstrating it for Sarah . Can you see the tiny bulb light up? It was hard to get a picture of it where it actually showed up.

This morning: Sarah's cat is really staying close by, to make sure Sarah is alright!

Lacey posing in her "I'm so pretty" way. Sarah looking a little better and eating some too.
