Igloo (365-58)

We were pelted with other snow storm.  Granted we aren't getting what the east coast has received, but it's snow.  Rob and the kids went out back yesterday and built an igloo. Rowan and Nadine had a ball. They thought it was the coolest thing. 
They even took out their snacks and ate in the igloo, which is why they had no gloves on in this picture.  Tate was protecting it like it was some kind of national treasure.  He was completely interested in how the kids got inside the snow.

Katie & Trevor (365-57)

This is my cousin Katie and her new precious son, Trevor Michael! He was born yesterday! We have been anxiously awaiting his arrival.  This morning I spent a few minutes with the two of them at the hospital.  And this is my pic of the day.  Katie's sister, Jaime also had a baby boy just 6 days ago, I haven't seen him yet.  His name is Brady Matthew.

Fairlane Mall (365-56)

Rowan and I ventured out today to spend the day with Melissa & Izzie. We decided to go to Fairlane Mall, since there is absolutely nothing to do in the middle of the winter in Monroe.  Correction: I'm not sure there's anything to do any time of the year.  I haven't been to Fairlane for a very long time.  The inside is still the same, minus the Elevated Train over to the Hyatt.  That's completely gone and if you hadn't known it was there at one point than you'd never know it existed.  Neither of us took a stroller because mall's always have them to rent, but they didn't. So Rowan and Izzie made a day of walking through the mall and discovering the joy of escalators! They had fun!

It was quite challenging to stick to my diet being out for the day. But I think I did a good job.  The people behind the counters thought I was psycho, but I don't care. I found one that was serving grilled chicken, in way too large of a portion, so I bought it and ate half.  Then I found another that had ceaser salads without the dressing yet, so I asked them to pick of all the croutons and cheese.  Topped it all off with a Ginger Peach hot tea from Coffee Bean!

Catch up (365-54 & 365-55)

Yesterday, we went roller skating for Nadine's school.  Jourdyn did so well helping not just Nadine and Rowan, but also my Daisies that were there.  Rowan absolutely loved rollerskating.  The kids have kids skates. They tighten the wheels so they are basically walking with just a little roll.  Rowan was running! In fact, because they didn't roll that much he kept falling.  But he had a blast. 
Daddy would like to get him on the ice to see how he handles ice skating, so he can play hockey!
Nadine, the drama queen that she is, of course, fell a lot just for the attention of it.  But she did well too!

My picture of the day for today is of our final van load of water, food and baby supplies for ISOH/Impact's Haiti Relief Disaster.  Last week Tina and I sorted this all and prepared it for delivery. Traci and I spent this morning loading this up and taking it to the warehouse, where we were greeted by some great guys who unloaded it all for us. 
We've decided from this point on to focus our efforts on cash donations for Nazarene Compassionate Ministries work in Haiti.
