Sometimes you just have to laugh....

Ever since Larry left on the 20th of February for pre-deployment processing in GA it's been completely nutty around here. We all got bad colds (mine turned into a sinus infection) and another round of pink eye. Then the snow storm hit! We got about 10 inches here and oddly enough it was just what we needed! The kids and I had an absolute blast playing in the snow having snowball fights and making snow angels. It was strange because after a few minutes it felt like the stress was just disappearing and being replaced with simple happiness. We are such a goofy & silly family that when we are all stressed out it completely changes our dynamic. I even put a sign on the fridge this week that reminds us to be silly and laugh every day.

We are all slowly getting back into our daily routines. For me that means getting to the gym every day which just makes me happier and feel good. The kids are excited that Grandma Shirley & Phil will be coming into town tomorrow so they can go to Great Friends & Grandparents Day at school on Friday. Chase is really excited since he has never had anyone that was able to come in years past. Also since this will be the kids last year at Charlottesville Catholic School it makes it that much more special.
