Winter!

Well I am enjoying my day at the library here at the Columbus Learning Center. I came up here with Jacob today only he is having classes. I crocheted for awhile, and am now checking emails and then I will check in on yahoo groups. Poor Dad remains in Columbus Health and Rehab, slowly gaining strength and wanting so much to be home. Hopefully he can be home before too long. Hopefully by warm weather he can be home.
I love the recent snow we got! I really do enjoy winter. Thankfully it was decent weather when the teens got to go to the March for Life in Wash. DC. I am so thankful for this opportunity for them to be a great witness for life. Many people gather there with a common bond. LIFE! Jacob, Jonathon and Elizabeth all got to go, (as well as many of our friends!) I believe there were about 300,000 people there although I have not heard the final count yet. I am hoping that Mark and I get to go next year. God willing.... Sherry if you read this, I am thinking that it would be wonderful if your family could go. I have already started saving change for it. I may not be able to save enough, but time will tell.
We didn't have to pay for any of the teens to go this year. It was all covered for us, and I am so thankful.
A few weeks ago, the pond near us froze solid and it was fun venturing out on it. Even little Niki enjoyed it! The dogs were cute out on it! We of course had to make sure it was solid first. I thought as heavy as I am I would break through, but did not.
Elizabeth has been doing a lot of baking lately. YIPPEE!! She has become a better baker than her momma. Sherry, I wish I had one of your good cookies right now! Yummy! If I remember right for Jonathon's 8th grade graduation party, you made eight different kinds of cookies. Seven or eight? I know you made many different kinds. How neat!
Well, I better run. Hope everyone is enjoying winter. Curl up under a warm blanket, grab a good book to read, and sip on hot chocolate. Cozy, warm, fun....!!
