We've been to Fairoaks Dairy Farm. We got lucky and saw 3 calves born. We enjoyed the tour.

We got a dusting of snow last night, it disappeared earlier today.

I would have been fascinated by all of that too! How neat that you could see Chicago from that direction... that must have been neat too!

I talked to Toni today. She seemed ok.

She is still waiting on the testing. They say they are going to deliver a month early, which would be early March. If she delivers in Philly as she thinks she will, then I will go out and be with her. Probably taking care of her daughter.

I haven't done much baking yet but I need to.

Dan is in the process of making a cabinet for our girl's room. They only have a very small closet that is only about 4 feet tall at it's highest point. The closet follows the roof line so it gets shorter and shorter. The cabinet will give them much more closet space and room for other things as well. I can hardly wait until Dan gets the cabinet done.

I have also been sorting out and cleaning out the girl's dressers. They tend to not only mess them up, but they also put things in them that don't belong. I have completed about 1/2 of that job.

Yum, cookies. Judy picked up my mints for the baskets today. I just wanted to stay home with Sean. He took yesterday off and the kids and I are loving him being home. I told the boys that if they did school on Fri (even though daddy was home) we would take all next week off. Do you guys want to go see Bolt today? Call me.

Yummmmm....cookies! Wish I could have made it today. But I had so much to do and I know they had enough helpers. Hope it was fun!

My kids like Bon Jovi. They listen to a lot of 80s music, as that is what Stephen and I like.

We like to listen to Elvis when we clean. Also, it isn't rock, but my boys really like Gene Autry.

Brown-eyed Girl is a classic, and clean. Alot of olderrock is OK..like 50s and early 60s.As far as contemporary, search radio disney..there's a station in Indianpolis we listen to when traveling. Still have to be discriminating, though, unfortunately. Wasso good to see you& family..sorry we never seem to get to hang out. Maybe at the ladies' getaway in Spring.

I am so sure you do! :( We should have had a play date this week!

I can imagine! Hang in there, and just think how fun it will be when he gets home! :)

I think the last few days of waiting are the hardest. When Rick gets home maybe he will give you a break.:)

It's always hard when they are away. No matter how often they leave, it's still hard. I know that far too well!

I know you miss him. :( Is this his last trip for awhile?

We are thankful to God for Rick's safe travels.

Glad all went well!
