Picture of the week

I am going to start posting one picture every week from our trip to the Dominican Republic last month. So here's the 1st one.

This is Cecila and Jaren. She had such a bright smile and Jaren took to her right away. This was the 1st service we were in and it was a house service or what we would call Cottage Prayer meeting. Every time we would see Cecila, Jaren would go right to her. I love being around her.

Happy Valentines Day

Want to wish my hubby and little boy a very Happy Valentines Day!! Love them both and wouldn't know what I would do without them. Hope you are having a wonderful Lord's Day and also a Happy Valentines too.

More Snow

WE still have our almost 2 feet of snow and now they are telling us we are getting another one on Tuesday that might bring another 7 or more inches. Mr. Phil the Groundhog was not kidding when he predicted the 6 more weeks of winter.

Major Snow Storm

Well we got a lot of snow in the last 24 hours. Anywhere from 20-24 inches here. Depends on where you measure. It is a lot of Fun and we are wishing Jaren was older so we could take him out in it more. It is so beautiful. Here are few pictures I took this morning.

Jaren Update

Here are a few pictures of Jaren recently. Also He had a Dr. Appt yesterday and he is a growing boy. He weighs 19 lbs 4 ozs and is 29in. Dr. said everything is going great. He does go to an allergist next Monday to see if he has allergies. He has had a consistant runny nose and cough for several months now. Antibiotics are not helping and he doesn't act sick. Since Dan has severe Allergies then the Dr. said to go ahead and get Jaren checked out. We have to go to the Ext. of Childrens Hospital in Cranberry for that Appt.
