Hearts Day

Hope you all had a good one!




Yes, these were Maddie's Valentines that I created this year! She loves them!



And my little short cake enjoying all her Valentine goodies. She gets her cast off this Thursday...we can't wait! :)

Scenes from the wild...

Its a been an interesting weekend. All this dumping of snow was completely insane.

(from my windows)






There is definitely more than 24+ inches out there and another storm coming tomorrow! Ugh!


The most snow we have seen in a looong time! After getting stir crazy for a while I decided to go driving the next day along with my camera. I've been wanting to shoot something besides people lately so this was a bit of challenge for me. There was no where to park except for the middle of the road (which I did a few times!!) so I was mainly shooting from inside!!! This is why I love my tiny little town...it was so peaceful this day...



My favorite mailbox. I hope they don't replace it. Ever!







My next house is going to be right here. My backyard facing the water :)








My fav part is the four birds (you can barely see!) in the distance here.




Another 12 inches on the way-- don't know where we going to put it!

The white stuff

Dear Mr Groundhog,
I have been dreaming of tulips, baby bunnies, sundresses, yellow fuzzy chicks and sandals on my feet. Did you not hear me when I said enough IS enough?! Bring on spring!!!

Signed,
Freezing in MD


I think there is no end in sight. But some are still enjoying it....




Another storm is on its way this weekend. Grrr. Now who wants to send me a plane ticket to Hawaii? :)

The last.........bath

I know, I know...its silly it seems but when you have surgery and are in lovely body cast for x-amount of time really you don't get to "bathe" anymore. (okay sponge baths will do but seriously they are not the same!)



So here we celebrate "the last bath". Lots and lots of bubbles and lots and lots of scrubbing.




She gets to stay in until her hands are looking like raisins and the water starts to get cold.




Or until she tries to snatch up my camera :)




More to come!

Sockin it

Taken before surgery of course. This is what happens when its freezing cold outside and there is nothing to do....pump up the heat and run around in knee socks :)

Ms. Kassie is doing good. She is finally trying to move around now instead of being a limp rag doll in a cast (I think she was in the frame of mind that she couldn't move at all!). She begs to get down on her belly now...

And does her silly army crawl...

More to come! :)

Quick Update!!!

Just a real quick update so everyone knows we are still alive!! :) Kassie's surgery went well. She woke up ticked off...I mean REALLY ticked off. Pulling wires off, IV off, ready to hop out of the bed even though she still couldn't feel anything waist down. She was MAD. First she kept asking for her "brace off" (she wears one at night), then she kept asking us to "open her cast" (maybe take it off?) now it is literally "I wanna get down and walk NOW"! Yikes I hope 6 weeks FLIES by!

Here she is all looking awful. :( Her face is so red cause she was SO mad!

And her puppy friend that got to go back in the OR with her. Complete with a hospital ID of course!

Gotta run~ will update more later! Thanks everyone for the messages & emails!!!

We're off!!

In the wee hours of the morning we are heading off for Kassie's surgery. If you can please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. I am going to miss my bouncing, running, energetic girl.

I will update when I can.
