Yet More Messy Snow !!!

Well hi there again, before I go on, I wanted to take this opportunity to wish my mother in law good luck for her knee surgery tomorrow, we hope and pray all goes well and that your recovery is fast and easy and definitely easier than the last one !!!

Secondly I want to thank everyone for their prayers for my father in laws recovery from his latest ordeal, thank God he seems to be fine, too fine maybe because I believe he isn't taking it as easy as he should which is easy when you feel fine right ... but hopefully those around him will keep encouraging him to slow down and take things one day at a time !!!

A quick update on all of us, Dave and I are fine, thank God I managed to recover from that bug I had recently pretty quickly. At almost 7 months pregnant though I am tired a lot of the time but thankfully with working mornings, I get to rest up in the afternoons, or at the very least to do stuff at snail pace !!! I have my monthly obgyn check up tomorrow and am scared to death coz I have to do that horrid sugar test and drink that disgusting liquid which when I was pregnant with Jade I totally threw up and can't imagine it will be much different this time around. Please hope and pray my results are good and that I do not have to do anything different to what I am doing now, that being said, I am prepared for whatever result comes my way.

As far as Jade goes, the poor thing has been coughing her lungs out for what has felt like forever now, it's amazing actually because I am usually the one that these things linger with but this time, it has taken it's toll on Jade. Then just when I thought she may be recovering, she got a UTI which is probably from all the bloody medicine she has been on so now she is on an antibiotic for the next 10 days, she said she was feeling a lot better on day two of the medicine which made me feel a lot more at ease BUT ... then Saturday night she started to throw up and this big throw up bug is going around now, thank God even when Jade throws up she is not a big throw up child but it did leave her not wanting to drink or eat anything the entire Sunday. Today being Monday thankfully her fever is down and she is enjoying lots and lots and lots of pretzels right now, and well ice chips is her favorite but has been even more popular the past two days. She seems fine today but I pray this is all over with now as I hate seeing her sick. Also my God I hope neither Dave or I get this, I can deal with a lot but throw up is so not my thing, thank God Dave is ok with all that !!!

So today is another snow day, it didn't snow enough for it to be fun playing snow but anyway, it gave us a day off school and another day for Jade to recover, she should not have gone out into the snow today but how could I keep her out of it, we went out for a short while so she can say she was out there but now we are indoors trying to defrost !!!

Below are some pics I took while Jade and I were outside, here is one of the front of our house, you can see there wasn't too much snow, I always say just enough to make a muddy mess but anyway, it's still pretty !!!



This is a picture from our porch out front.



Just two pics of Jade making snow balls ... or trying to anyway.





Jade and I decided to go on an adventure since it really wasn't that cold out, wet yeah but not too cold, our new neighborhood has tons of paths or trails to walk so we decided to take one and just see where we come out, it was actually really pretty and I would imagine in Summer when the trees are all green it is even prettier. I found a large river back there that we didn't even know was there, I am glad we decided to take this long walk. There are so many paths though that you never know which one to take or where you are going to come out but thankfully we came out in a cul de sac that I recognised so it wasn't too hard to find our way home again. I think when the weather is better we need to go take some family walks around here and see what all we can find.



This is someone elses snowman but we thought it was a good photo opportunity anyway :-)



Even Mickey is frozen over(hehehe) !!!



This is Jade out back on the deck. The deck started to feel like an ice rink after a while so she had good fun out there while I pretty much watched and just stayed out of the way, I was so scared I would slip but thank God I didn't.



Just a picture of our back yard.



Jades snow angel !!!



Ok that's me for now :-) I am sure I will blog again soon.
