Thank you!

For all of your prayers and best wishes.  We returned home Saturday night.  2057 miles in three days.  TL stated that in three years he can help with the driving.  I'm looking forward to that day!!  I was exhausted.  Sunday we cleaned out the truck, which was trashed, and my hubby did some laundry for me.

Yesterday I didn't do anything.  Nothing at all and it was wonderful.  We really needed to dig back into school since we've lost so many days with our traveling, but I was too exhausted to see straight or dig out the school work. 

So, today we're hitting the books. 

My neice is doing better.  She has bronchitis right now.  It got really warm when we were in Iowa and then the temperatures plunged and now they have snow.  Tomorrow she has surgery to remove her pins, which will be so wonderful!!  I was always afraid the kids were going to hit one of them!

One of the things I noticed when we were in Iowa was my kids needs for scrapbooks.  Back when I had the time, I had made some scrapbooks for my in-laws and my kids devoured them.  I realized that TL and Princess have one, Bug-a-bug has one started, and the two littlest have nothing.  I have tons of photos printed and in storage.  I have at least two years on my computer.  So, I decided one of the gifts for them this year will be a scrapbook for each of them.  This way they can look until their hearts content.  I'm going to download a computer program this weekend and get started.  I probably need to sit down and figure out what I have and how far back and plan their books out.  I hope to keep this year current and perhaps do the last two years.  The last year may be more reasonable, but we'll see. 

Have a wonderful Valentine's Day!
