Sledding with Cousins

A couple of weekends ago we met up with cousins Bryce and Brennen and Auntie Karla to do a little sledding. Grandma Judy was kind enough to watch Claranna so we could just focus on some fun with the big kids. We met the cousins half way between our homes at a school yard and we really enjoyed our time together. It was great to be laughing and playing outside and we were able to stay quite awhile since we didn't have the little one.

A lot of our snow melted this past week when the temperatures climbed into the 40's for the first time in a very long time. The grass in our yard is actually visible in a few spots! I didn't get to enjoy the beautiful weather because I was quite sick on a couple of the nicest days and then James caught my nasty stomach bug and kept us inside on more lovely days. James and I are recovered, but Claranna is really struggling with tummy issues that are either an extension of the stomach bug going around or are somehow related to her food allergies. We have been having a hard time getting her to eat much of anything the past couple of days. Hopefully she'll be much better tomorrow... I don't think that we've had more than a two day stretch of all three kids healthy at once in the past month. I'm ready for spring, but it is more snow that is on the way! We will probably have a day at home tomorrow as the forecast of excessive snow and ice suggests that hanging out at home might be the best way to spend our day. Enjoy the sledding pics!
