sunshine in February!

On Monday, the sun came out and brightened our world!

I sat outside in my sweatshirt and sunglasses trying to soak in every little ray of available sunny vitamins. 

The sun has again departed and we remain with the standard gray of February.

To complete my month of sickness, in my state of weakened immunity, I managed to collect another cruddy virus that left me on the sofa for a solid week...

I'm thankful for sick days and a job that's flexible to allow me to work from home, er, the sofa, when needed.

I'm considering quarantining myself for the rest of the winter until all the yucky bugs are past and my immune system is renewed!

There's nothing like the beauty of fresh snow!

Little Guys

Last month when I was home for Christmas we had an unseasonably warm day. 

Betsy and I sat outside and chatted while Abel played bat and ball and Cyrus took a nap. Then we took the boys out for a spin in their double stroller.

What a fun surprise to discover this handsome pilot and his sister seated among the passengers at my gate in the Detroit airport when heading back to Pennsylvania after Christmas!

sickie New Year

who knew cough drops came with inspirational sayings?!

I've spent way too much of the new year ingesting cough syrup and emptying tissue boxes...

Here's to a healthier February+.

adult discovery:
cough syrup is still just as nasty as it was when we were kids

first {er, second} snow day of 2020

We finally had our first real snow of the winter here two weeks ago (we had a couple skiffs previously). Sadly, I was too sick with a cold to make cinnamon rolls in celebration of the first snow of the season.

We had another mini snow+ice storm Saturday, and these orange glazed cinnamon rolls happened :).
