Embracing Winter and Madison Update!



Hi!
Well I wish our was weather was as Spring-like as my new blog design!!! We are having one of the coldest winters on record, and it seems like all people can talk about is the weather... Even the hardiest of Minnesotans are looking up cheap air fares to fly south! We are up north at our cabin, and it has been snowing all day. When we woke up it was a 1o below! Now it is a balmy +10 and we just had the girls out sledding. It actually felt comfortable!? This was Ruby's first time out sledding with her big sister and she seemed to love it! I can't wait for the day when I am snow skiing with both of my girls! The weekend is supposed to be "warm" so we should get a lot of fresh air! We all need it! I have promised to take Ainsley snow shoeing tomorrow.

I have absolutely great news about Madison! She is HOME!!!! One week ago that precious baby was having open heart surgery. Tonight she will be sleeping in her cozy bassinet! What a blessing!

I trust you all had a great Valentine's Day! Jeff and I laughed about ours... We had dinner at Embers on our way up to the lake. Classy right? Well, our options were Embers or DQ! Ruby threw-up at the table!! Really, does it get any more romantic? The funny thing is it will be the Valentine's Day we will remember forever!!

Have a great weekend!
