Madi goes for her tonsillectomy tomorrow

We have had some nice snow lately. This is a picture taken the other night of our yard.

Tim went skiing this morning, then I brought the kids up and we traded out for the afternoon today. You can see we had some nice powder.

Tim and the kids went and picked up Jerry Ann (GaGa) from Salt Lake City this afternoon. We are glad she has arrived. Here Henry is modeling his new cowboy hat with her. You may notice he does not have a binkie - the dentist banned it last Thursday! The roof of Henry's mouth was starting to mold to the shape of the binkie and his front teeth weren't coming in all the way either. Things will go back to normal in a few months. It hasn't been too bad without the binkie, really. He cries a bit when he goes to sleep or rides in the car, but otherwise seems just fine. Henry has had terrible diarrhea and diaper rash for several days now. We don't know why, but we do hope that goes away soon!

Madi has been doing ok. She has times where she seems to feel just fine, and others where she is very cranky. I picked this picture because it represents the former! We are really hoping that her tonsillectomy tomorrow will help her feel better in the long run. She goes in at 7 a.m.

She and Henry have been having a pretty good time together lately. We are on Spring Break right now. The University has made it an unpaid furlough to help with budget problems. Sometimes Henry and Madi play really well together, but sometimes they take each others' stuff. This is in a good moment.

Henry has lately discovered Tim's iPhone. Here he is playing a very simple game in which he touches the screen to uncover barnyard animals. He loves it!
