we miss you, daddy!

Ben has been in Dallas all week for a Young Life training class. Funny thing is, it snowed there too. Today I heard on the news that 49 states have snow somewhere - Hawaii being the exception. All the snow has made flying interesting. After spending 10 hours in the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport (which is bigger than the island of Manhattan I learned today) he missed his connecting flight from Atlanta. So he'll (hopefully) fly out of Atlanta tomorrow morning.

Here are some of the things you missed while you were gone . . .


Sometimes you just need a change of scenery with the same old toys.


There was a marriage workshop at River Ridge Friday night. Barb and I were the single ladies who got to help with registration and sit in the back since our husbands were out of town. It was nice to get out of the house for the evening.


Talking to Daddy on Skype. Sophie commanded most of the conversations with very loud hi's and bye's and trying to kiss Ben on the computer screen.





We had two snow days. We were going slightly stir crazy. Ted asked if he could do the running on Wii Fit. Turns out, he's good and can go the distance. He'll run for about 20 minutes. Really helped get the energy out. Sophie preferred to spectate from her chair and check out what she had stashed in her purse.


Our friend Hannah came over on one snow day. The kids played Just Dance. Another great way to get the wiggles out. (FYI: Ted beat Ben in a dance last week. HILARIOUS!)


This is how I found Sophie the other morning!

So, we've survived! Spring is lots of travels for Ben. We're REALLY ready for it to stop snowing. But we're supposed to get 4-8 more inches by Tuesday morning. Sigh.
