Two-hour delay

So let's start with my photo from last night when we got home after swim practice:

This morning I got up bright and early to head to the Y to workout. When I got there and got on the treadmill I saw that we had a 2-hour delay. Talk about bad timing. But at least I got in a good workout before I came home, showered and took a nap :)

We got enough snow, sleet and rain to make a nice mess.

I was planning to take off this morning to do some work here at home and then go to the Y when Eli was at school. But I ended up being home all day because I think Eli ended up with a little touch of the stomach flu. To quote my favorite 5-year-old, "Momma, the poop just shot out my butt!" Only he can get excited about the velocity at which his diarrhea exits his body. Love that boy! Fortunately that was his last trip to the bathroom and has been feeling much better. Hopefully that will continue through the night so he doesn't have to miss Gym 'N Swim and school tomorrow.

Baby it's cold outside

It's a good thing I usually do my blog posts at night. If I had attempted to type this post this morning after walking with Randie, it would have been ugly. We met at 5:15am and it was a chilly 24 degrees. It proceeded to get even colder while we walked - or at least that's what accuweather.com says happened. I eventually was able to bend my fingers again, but I'm not sure I ever really got warm in my core today. But all coldness aside, I'm still really glad we went. If I have to do this morning exercise routine, at least I have some really great people with whom to do it!

So since it was so cold today, I decided to post some snow photos from the Christmas break. I took these with my awesome new zoom lens.

Isaiah walking with Caleb and catching a snowflake on his tongue.

Rachel borrowed Caleb's snowboard and gave that a shot.

Eli loved the snow. He would stay out until his face and hands were pretty much raw and loved every minute of it!

I was home for about 3 minutes this afternoon after picking up the boys from school and snapped this picture out the kitchen window:
