SNOW DAY!!!

Now, that's more like it! SNOW DAY!!!! Everyone is saying this is the first snow storm in years. I'll take it! You heard what havoc the little skiff of snow did earlier...yea, well this one pretty much cancelled Christmas...next year. We hurried and did all our school and housework early so we could play the rest of the day. We love snow!! (I think I'll save some in the freezer.)




MISSOURI WIMPS

Yep, that's the title of this post. See all the snow on the ground? Yea, me neither. But this amount of snow cancelled school/college classes/playdates/etc. No joke! Cracks me up!!!

ART TIME

Here are some craftie projects the girls have been working on these cold winter months. The incredibly detailed ones are Julie's. The scattered blocks are Elly's . What can she say?!

ELLY"S OWIE

Here's our trooper, all bandaged up and ready to play.

See? I'm still cute!

Here's an okay picture of the injury.
This week's e-ray shows one bone directly beneath the other bone.
The bone shifted due to too much movement. But it's actually
a blessing because they say it will heal better from the new position.


GOOD NEWS! Having a sling has not slowed down Elly's ability to operate the ipod touch in any way, shape, or form. She still navigates like a champ. Watch this video to see her find movies, scroll though pictures, and check email. What a hoot! How much will Apple pay for this to be their next commercial? Seriously?! Someone find out!! (Yeah, she's sideways too. Refer to the previouslt mentioned user error!)

JULIE"S SOLO CAREER

Hi everybody. Here is Julie singing a solo part at the
Christmas Eve Service at our church. She's got a future!
Try to ignore the fact that she's sideways...I couldn't get the video to rotate.
(RRRR...modern technology!)
