Crazy Kitty!

So, I am doing laundry - nothing new about that - I am ALWAYS doing laundry! But this time, when I went back to the bedroom to fold clothes, I found a little surprise in the laundry basket! Sophie, our kitty, LOVES warm clothes, and LOVES to snuggle in them..... It kind of reminds me of our dog Toby when I was a little girl. Toby was an outside hunting dog, but on cold winter nights, we would bring him into the heated garage to sleep. We always put a bunch of beach towels in the dryer, and then put the warm towels in the kennel with Toby. Anyways..... here's Sophie - the laundry cat!

Michigan Fun!

The kids and I spent a recent weekend up in Michigan. Lydia and Drew had a BLAST playing in the snow!

There is a small hill in the backyard of Aunt Barbie and Uncle Eddie's yard.

Lydia and Drew made the most of it!!!

Wrigley kept trying to steal their discs until Uncle Eddie got him his own to play with..... (or tear up).....

There was a lot more snow in Michigan than in central Illinois, so Lydia and Drew were in heaven!!!

We also were able to visit Great-Gram. Debbie, Rob and Baby Elaine came over from Chicago for the day, so Gram was with three of her great- grandchildren. Of course, she wanted to know where the 'other 2' were!!! (Isabel and Grace)

Gram was very aware and lucid on Saturday morning when all the kids were there.
We got some great pictures!!!
