A Month Later

It has been over a month since my last post! I always think about posting and really love doing it, but finding the time is quite hard these days! So, this post is dedicated to catching everyone up on what's been going on with the Donovan Clan since February.

Let's start back in February with Valentine's day. Kermie has always been a great "flower giver!" He's never forgotten to get me flowers on Valentine's Day and is 4 for 4 with Ella as well. Ella loves the flowers her daddy gets for her as you can see from the picture. She's pretty certain she is daddy's princess and I think she's absolutely right!



We also took a trip to Owensboro in February to visit Robert, Lynsie, Emmie, and Wilson. It is always fun getting to visit and we all loved getting to see sweet Wilson. A weekend is never enough time with great friends!



The rest of February is pretty much a blur! The weather this winter has been incredibly warm, so we have definitely taken advantage of the extra time outside. This past weekend, we had some scary weather here in Kentucky. On Friday, it was 60 degrees and by Sunday night we had a blizzard..... which leads me to today!

As you know, I LOVE snow days. And, this year has been a pretty big let down when it comes to the amount of snowfall we've gotten. I had actually given up on the thought of a "good" snow and transitioned my brain to think about Spring. However, we received about 4 inches over night last night which resulted in a terrific snow day today! This snow was a terrific blessing to our family as the whole family (minus Kermie--keeping fingers crossed) has gone through some terrible virus! Ella woke up this morning without a fever, but I still was not comfortable sending her off to the sitter's house. This year has been a horrible one in terms of having to take off work, so my days left to use are small in number. So, yippie for snow to play in and yippie for not having to use another sick day!!

This was Grayson's first real experience with the snow because he was so little last year. To his delight, not being allowed to stay out long because his sister was not 100% was perfect in his eyes. In other words, he was not fond of the snow! He refused to move unless I held him, took off his shoe, threw off his mitten, and would not assist in the failed attempt to build a snow man. When mommy said, "You ready to go inside?" he quickly replied, "Yes," with the nod of his head! On the other hand, making Snow Day Snow Cream was a much better idea in his opinion. He enjoyed it thoroughly.
