GO STEELERS!!!!

Owen zonked out Sunday after lunch at Farm 2/1

Before superbowl....Lydia kept giving me this funny look!

Lydia's 1st MALL ride. She loved it!!!!

This past weekend and the next few days.............

The STEELERS won the superbowl last night....in case you've been hidden under a rock. ha ha. Lydia sat and watched Faith Hill sing 'America'. I wasn't too impressed with the half time show or the National Anthem. But that's ok. They weren't considering 'michelle's opinion when planning them. ha ha. We went to the farm for lunch on Sunday. Yummy stuffed pork chops. Troy's mom and dad are so good to us. She's always making us her yummy good. The kids came home and CRASHED. Owen on the floor for 2 hrs and Lydia in her bed for just 1/2 hr. She's come down w/a cold. Runny nose, watery eyes, crying, coughing,etc.....she's not pleasant. It is like we have a newborn again at night. She is up every 1/2 hr or so. She did sleep from 5/6am til 10 am this morning. That was nice. Not for our 'schedule' we're trying to get going. I guess it's a good plan...if we could just follow it.

So Lydia had a VERY rough night last night. I was concerned she had an ear infection or croup...but the doctor after examination....she's fine! Just has a cold. Owen went to Grandma Hill's while we went to the doctor. Holy EASY taking just 1 out on a trip.

Owen was so well behaved while Lydia napped twice today. What a different, calm, loving little boy. Then she wakes up...he's been trying to make her 'play' when she doesn't really care to be near him. He picks her up and takes her to his room, or wherever he wants her. I am sure she's going ot be a strong little girl. Last night Owen and I made his Valentine's from him and Lydia for Grammy and Grandma & Grandpa Hill. We've got to do Daddy's and Aunt Joanne & Uncle Tom's yet. Hopefully we can get done before we need to.

Id like to ask those who read this to pray for my high school friends son. He's an infant and has been hospitalized since I think Thursday and until he can go through the night without a breathing treatment he can't return home to his daddy and big brother who will be 2 in April. Her name is Susan and the baby is Aaron.....God will know who you mean.

Also, for a friend of my sister-in-law's ....Kristine.....she's in Shadyside with reccurent Lymphoma. She just received her twin sisters stem cells last week. She's there for at least 100 days for recovery. She has to have somone by her side 24/7. They're having a Pizza Hut benefit for her Thursday February 19 from 5-8 p.m in Greenville. PLEASE ATTEND!!!

1 more....my best friend is in Disney this week with her husband and son. Please pray they have a great time and a safe trip home as they drive home this weekend!

Tomorrow we have an appointment about 1/2 hr away and I have to go w/just the kids. Im afraid of the snow. Im hoping it doesnt get too bad. And I plan to leave a little earlier than usual, just to be on safe side.

Troy and I are still trying to figure out what to do this weekend for our aniversary on Saturday. Sunday we are going to lunch after church w/Troy's family. To mY FAVORITE PLACE!! mmmm. Troy and I would like ot go to dinner and a movie. But unsure if mom and meem are going to come watch the kids, also we wanted to go to Baldingers Candy Store in Zelienople. But Troy's dad scheduled Herd Health Saturday, which will take mostof the morning and some afternoon. Need to call and get Baldingers hours for Saturday. Who knows what'll happen.

Any ideas for Troy's birthday?.....it's the 16th he'll be 32....I have no clue what to get him. I got him a DVD for our anniversary he'd been wanting.

Thanks again for reading. If you could please let me know that people are actually reading this...that'd be WONDERFUL!!!!
