Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!

This picture was taken in our yard. Madison discovered a bunch of icicles this late afternoon with water dripping from them. It was beautiful! This was the kids' 4th snow day today. I stayed home with them and it was actually a beautiful cold crisp sunny winter day. The snow was so pretty. Karla and I took our kids plus Nate sledding at Beppe & Pakka's house for close to 2 hours. They had fun. Poor Beppe has a horrible cold so we felt bad for her!

As far as valentine's day... it didn't really seem too different from any other day I guess. The kids' party at school will be tomorrow I guess... at least I'm sending in everything planning for it to be tomorrow. Tony didn't get home until 8:30 so I told him he owes me a romantic evening out some time! He got me 2 CD's and a nice card so that was nice of him.

Well, that's all for now. I'll add some sledding pictures for you to enjoy. The kids and I are going to Iowa tomorrow after work/school until Monday. As far as I know the weather is supposed to hold out.

And in the Valentine's spirit... a special "I love you" to each one of you. I'm blessed to call you family and friends!

Love, Leah

Nate & Quinn threaten me with snow balls.


Katie and Nathan pause for a split second.



Madison heads for the top of the hill again.
