When daddy is a hero...

It is really cool having a daddy who is a real life hero. We are very proud of him in this household!

But on a day like today, when heroes don't take day off for ice storms, or any other kind of catastrophic weather events, having a daddy who is a hero is hard.  I mean, we are proud to know he's out there with the people who save lives and clean up messes related to this!!!  But we are also bummed to be at home without him, while most other families are at home bonding and enjoying this day off together.  Daddy, we are proud of you for doing a job that takes a lot of strength and involves staring most people's fears in the face.  You are a very good example of sacrifice, as you give your all for others!

 As we were playing at home this morning, Chaille became very snotty and clingy.  Again.  I took her temperature and it is back up. (just when I finally thought this bug was OUT of here.)  So, the tylenol continues to flow at our house.  Somedays I wonder if we should have a drip IV of the stuff here.  Someone in this house has been on a daily regimen of it for 12 days now!  Boo...

This morning, and soon to be afternoon, we have enjoyed a movie and popcorn as part of our "iced in" festivities.  The boys were excited to see this morning that mommy brought home popcorn from work last night.  So, we ordered the newest Shrek movie and indulged in a lunch spoiling snack!  Oh well, it's worth it to enjoy the day off.  Chaille didn't really care about the movie, so she and I had a photo shoot while the boys have been watching their movie! :O) Only took 10 or 12 pictures to get us both fully in the picture!!!



These boys are enjoying their day at home so far. 

Steve, we love you.  You are our HERO, and we are proud of the job you do for others and how hard you work to support this family!
