Pati had her third birthday two days after Christmas with a "Frincess cake". The cake is gluten free and it truly was good. Extra exciting because that is the first gluten free egg free rice free cake that I have ever made that was good. It has always been birthday jello or ice cream cake or cupcakes before. We will do it again for Anne's birthday!
Alec is anxious for a sign of spring. He has asked every day since the snow started melting if spring is here. We are having a little warm spell but I think it is supposed to snow tomorrow. There has only been one chance to break out the ice skates so far this year so we are hoping for some more freezing temperatures.

David is studying hard for his yearly exam which he will take on Saturday. Sometimes I am just amazed at how well he holds up with all of the unrelenting demands that are on him. After a weekend of little sleep because of coughing children he was up at 3:30 this morning to work until 1:00 tomorrow afternoon, come home to sleep until Wednesday morning when he has to do it again. He doesn't get a day off this week so he will have to try to catch up on sleep and talk to us another time :/
We are well into the swing of school and lessons and activities and stay busy enough that getting sick throws a monkey wrench into our weekly schedule. I feel amazed that Jan is halfway through 2nd grade and Alec is halfway through 1st.
We hear of possibilities of visitors from the west this spring and we are looking forward to them and the better health that usually comes with spring and summer very much.

What a great winter snow picture of all the kids. Nice shot.
Pati looks so old. The kids sure loved looking at her cake. I bet it was delicious. Happy Birthday (late) Pati girl.

We lost our laptop to a nasty trojan virus a while back so I have really missed your blogs. I love seeing all the family pictures! Keith is still unemployed. It was such a GREAT blessing to have him available during Mom's last days. I couldn't have done it w/o him! God is so good to provide ALL we need! We are really enjoying this season of being ALONE with each other and don't miss him having to go to work YET! The money may get tight; but we are confident that when God has a "place for him to work;" that He will lead Keith there.
