Yuck!

Ethan has been sick for the last 4 days. He spent yesterday afternoon in the hospital getting an IV and some fluids. We came home last night and continued to give him IV fluids durning the night. Today we are finally heading down the road to feeling better. We even got a few smiles from him. The IV is still in but as long as he has a good night it can come out in the morning. We are keeping our fingers crossed that no one else gets this nasty bug!

Just one reason....

Just on reason we love homeschooling. This week we went skiing to get ready for our trip to Colorado. The boys had a blast! Donovan went up the lift this time but was not real sure about it so decided to stay on the bunny slope and practiced turning and stopping. Austin enjoyed the greens and blues as usual. Tommy had fun on the slopes and even ran a black diamond with Tom. I even had the chance to make a few runs with the boys while Tom watched Ethan (who had fun playing in the snow and hanging out in the lodge in front of the fireplace). Our plan is to go to Colorado this March to visit the Snyders, who are well seasoned skiers. The boys have no idea just how big the Rocky Mountains are but are about to find out. And you can bet that we will get alot of schooling done on the way.
