The latest in these parts.....

**Well, I guess I spoke too soon about the van. On Tuesday, Hope and I were running errands and at the post office, the van quit working again!!! The same exact thing it did on Sunday. For the love of pete. Had it towed again, and found out that the alternator is bad and needs to be replaced. Oh the joys of an older vehicle, but I'm still grateful for that van.

**I haven't mentioned that Hope starts school next week!!! Funny, how different things are with her than Pierce. I never sent Pierce to pre-school at all, I just did it all myself, but Hope is a social creature and wants to go. I'm excited and she's excited. She asks me almost everyday, "can I start school today?" It's just a couple days a week, just enough for both of us ;) Also, I want to document that she has starting speaking sometimes in a southern accent. Only a few months and the South is taking her in. It's pretty cute!

**We have reached snow day 11.5!!! I've never seen anything like it, but as you can see the kids don't mind....

Oh and just wanted to add these pics of my sleeping babes. It tugs at my heart that they still sleep with a "lovie" This would be Pierce's "buddy" (part 2) the original is hidden away, ha!
And well Hope sleeps with just about anything and everything. She always has her "blankie" but usually other things accompany her. Whatever her mood is. Last night it was her cell phone. She's a lot like me I guess, tee hee.
So, that's the latest here. Supposed to head back to Indiana again this weekend, pray that the ol' vehicle gets us there and back in one piece!!
