Things I Love Lately
I've been feeling down lately. I suppose it's largely because illness has been running rampant in our house, and recovering takes a long time. I'm also feeling cooped up and long for SUMMER and time outside. In times like these, it helps to focus on things that are making me happy.

Have you seen the UK version of The Office??? It's even better than the American version. And now Ricky Gervais' podcast is even more funny!!!!
I'm sorry you have been down lately... We really miss you guys, it is tough to be so far away. I think lately I have had to think of things I love and am thankful for a lot so I don't get down. I think that is why we have been outside a lot lately. Is it too cold for snowmen or sliding? Even getting out to the mall play area helps sometimes when you're feeling trapped inside huh? I think it is funny how they play hide and seek! Lana usually just stands in the middle of the living room and laughs when I turn around to find her, or she runs out from wherever she was (laughing of course) as soon as I start looking. I love toddlers...and I enjoyed looking through old scrapbooks with Lana yesterday and remembering when she was so little. You've got it right, we have a lot to be thankful for huh? I love you so much and I really miss talking to you and having the kids play. Give everyone hugs from all of us! xoxo
I've been in a funk lately, as well. I think it is just the winter blues! I right there with you in the countdown to summer, baby!! Things have been crazy at work lately (I know you can feel my pain), so I haven't had time to catch up. I long for St. Patrick's Day weekend as much as I long for the summer! Can't wait to see you.....
