ry's parents are here! they arrived this afternoon and already we are having fun. i walked in from the grocery store and heard ryan's mom laughing. i love hearing that laugh!
jan's already got a project started with the girls, and we are making plans to work on the ottomans, pick out fabric for a quilt for ella's bed, make some pillows and a cushion for a bench in ella's room.
afton had a fun weekend of sleepovers. friday night a sleepover in the rochester area, and then a sleepover saturday night with a friend from school. she even got to attend Mass with her school friend. then her friend came to the rest of our church with aft. the friend's mom said to her daughter "you think this (1 hour of mass) is bad, aftie has to go to church for 3 hours" apparently aftie quickly piped up "yeah, but my church is fun!"
sunday night we hosted our fire victim friends for dinner. two families in our ward share a duplex. on one side the furnace caught fire in the basement. that side has to be completely renovated, the other side has some smoke damage. both families are quite traumatized, but are all safe. so, the least i could do was make them some dinner. i wish i had a guest house they could move into. unfortunately, we just have a shed out back.
well, it is snowing like crazy and has been all day. last week, i was pretending it was spring and wore regular shoes, not my uggs. it was so cold, i immediately switched back to the uggs. thank goodness for those boots. they really keep me warm.
i watched the painted veil, finally. it was good, but not my favorite. i think some movies and books are just too sad for me. i recently read the time traveler's wife. it was also good but just so sad. i can't handle spouses dying. it's too much for me to think about. so from now on i'm only watching mary poppins and pollyanna.
now...back to american idol!
