Cabin Fever

We are officially getting a pretty severe case of cabin fever at this house.  This winter seems long and never ending.  Like every winter feels as February drags on.  I feel as though I am literally craving warmth and sun.  Soon we will be running out the door barefoot again with the smell of sunscreen wafting behind us!
 Until then we bundle up and walk out to greet the school aged kids of the house every afternoon.  Heidi is insistent that she walk along daily to watch them get off the bus.  Then she turns and runs as fast as her little legs will carry her back towards the house!  Or sometimes she hides behind a tree to jump out and scare us. 
 I love my days with her!  She is typically helpful and always stubborn!  Her phrase of late when things are not going the way she wants is "You are breaking mine heart!"
 Heidi took this picture of Naomi and I just think it is sweet.
 An unexpected snow last week had us awaken to a magical winter wonderland!  Everything was covered in snow!!  I initially felt that familiar feeling of annoyance until I really stopped to look.  I stepped outside with the camera to try and capture the beauty.  The sky was dark and brooding in one direction and clear blue in the other
 Tristan's favorite climbing tree!

 And this young man didn't get the memo that it is still winter!  At least he has shoes, gloves and his face mask on.
 She joined in the snowball fight too!
Pre-bedtime snuggles.  She was nearly asleep until she had her breathing treatment.  Albuterol gives "coming out of her skin" a whole new meaning!  Look at that cheesy smile.
