No,We Didn't Fall Off the Face of the Earth!

I can't believe that I haven't posted since November!  They say time flies faster as you get older...I must be aging rapidly!

December brought a trip out to Bath to see Matthew in the musical "Four Tickets to Christmas".  The dinner was delicious, the show was great, and it was so much fun meeting Matthew's co-workers, friends, and fellow performers.  We are so blessed that he is working in such a wonderful environment with such great people.

The following weekend brought snow and sickness to the household.  I don't often get sick, but the cold that hit me put me out of commission for several days.  Everyone in the family had the cold to some degree, but on Christmas day, the flu started making the rounds.  It's taken us this long to get healthy.  Rachael still has a bad cough, but the worst seems to be behind us.

Christmas was a nice, restful day (after getting up at 6 a.m. for the eager youngsters).  I didn't get any pictures because my camera is missing.  I'm assuming a certain 9 year old had it somewhere capturing moments, but he has no idea where the camera went.  I need to work up the courage to go into the attic (where he was creating with Matthew's Lego sets) and see if the camera is in that jumble. 

Since there's no camera there's no photos to post and since we've been sick there's no real news to share...that's why there have been no posts.

I did get the cross-country skis out last weekend and take advantage of  the snow.  It's great being able to ski out in our field when the roads are too messy to go walking. 

Raven LOVES the snow and has a great time plowing through the field. Her new favorite game is chasing field mice through their tunnels and throwing them up in the air when she catches them.  At least she's decreasing the population so we won't have as many trying to get into the house. 

Hopefully, pictures will be back soon and life will be full of things to write about.  Until then, stay healthy!
