Typical winter boredom! Simon has had a head cold for about two weeks...it's waning now. He had three seizures during that time, so that's not good. He does seem to be doing better now, although he's still more tired during the day.
Emily's birthday is Sunday--17 years old! Winterfest is Saturday night and she's going with her boyfriend Trevor--a really nice young man.
Lent is just around the corner--Ash Wednesday is Feb 17th. I found some great links so I want to share them!

I hope and pray to have a very good and fruitful Lent!
Alex leaves around the 23rd for Missouri. He has been helping Scott and some of the guys get things ready the last week or so. He's very excited!
So, that's about it! Boring like I said.

"Motherhood is about raising and celebrating the child you have, not the child you thought you would have. It's about understanding that he is exactly the person he is supposed to be. And that, if you're lucky, he just might be the teacher who turns you into the person you are supposed to be." ~The Water Giver~
A prayer
Lord,
Please help me remember that Your love is always greater than my disappointments and Your plans for my life are always better than my dreams.
Amen.
