December 18, 2008 - SNOW DAY

What a week. Maverick has had the crewp, Rhett the flue, and Madeline, Aurora and I a cold. Today we had a snow day, in the last 24 hours we got 18 inches of new snow. The high this entire week was on Wednesday when we got all of the snow and it was 17 degrees then. MOst other days it only got up to 5 degrees. TODAY Maverick is 8 months - he has been a difficult baby but it has gone by fast. He is doing everything fast, he already stands up to things and has taken a couple of steps around furniture. He is very determined and a Mamas band grandpas boy. Our church building had a pipe break and it flooded the entire church had several inches of water on the floor.
Madeline is very gullable and and I'm sure people have just thought she was lying. On Wednesday she was so excited to go to school and tell everyone that her grandpa Tolman is Santa Claus. He told her that he had pictures of him at the North Pole and would maybe take her there. So she told her friends. Her friend Rachel was so confused and so Mad that her mom wouldn't let her go to the North Pole this Monday with Madeline, after 4 phone calls I think that we have her settled down. Madeline is supposed to be getting baptized on Sunday but we are not sure if everything will be fixed by then.
Megan is trying to get eveything ready for Christmas and entertain her children since there is no school. We are all so excited for Mike to come home tomorrow. Then we are headed to Utah and Wyoming for Christmas and New Years. Every prayer that Aurora says, she says "Please bless dad to be safe at the airport." She isn't quite understanding that he gets on the plane and flys to Virginia. We wish you all safety, good health, and a wonderful holliday season.
