It is no fun when the computer starts to act up. Ours decided to not work this morning, so I am being forced to use my old laptop from college. It is weird to turn it on and see Windows 95. But at least I was able to find the cord that you use to hook up the ethernet. I forgot what it was that I was looking for until I found an old cord in our bag-o-cords. Using this computer brings back memories from college. All the papers that have been written on this computer. It is strange to use the smaller key board again. I know that I can hook up our mouse and keyboard to this computer but why ruin all the fun. Also the otehr problem of using this computer is that all of our webpages that we normally go to are in the other computer. I don't remember the address because they are bookmarked. Another problem is remembering all of hte passwords. Maybe we should not bookmark so many things.
Timothy is really got the hang of crawling. He is able to crawl for longer periods of time before he gets tired and finds something to play with where he is. The girls are really starting to want more things. They are really fun in what they ask for. As Clint and I tell them they have plenty of toys and they don't really need any more. I think that once they start getting more toys we will have to get rid of other toys that are not enjoyed as much any more. Well, I guess that I really should get things done around the house. Timothy is up and I think that Heidi just went into his room to go cheer him up. Elizabeth was just handing be something and she said "here you go my dearest". They really do pick up on things that we say to them and to each other. Well, mommy duties are calling.

Well, we were told that we could get anywhere between 5-10 inches of snow. I think they were wrong. All we have recieved is rain and more rain. At least this is helping get rid of the sleet that we had. Who knows what tomorrow will be like if the roads freeze over tonight. Not much else has really been going on around here. The girls and I have been trying to encourage Timothy to crawl. He is starting to get the hang of it. They will soon wonder why they helped mom do something that now allows him to get into more of their things. About a week ago I accidently pulled a chunk of Heidi's hair out. She and bent over head first and was wanting me to help her back in bed. As I did, I did not know that I was standing on some of her hair. When I set her up in bed she said ouch mommy. I asked her what was wrong and she said some of her hair got caught. I looked on the side of the bed and did not see any and then saw it on the floor. I could not believe what had just occurred nor could I believe that all see said was ouch mommy. I asked her if she was okay and she said yes and laid down in her bed. Talk about a high threshold of pain. I picked up the hair and found an envelop to put it in so that years from now I can tell her the story and show her the hair. When I told Clint and showed him the hair he asked if she now had a blad spot. No she did not. Well, as I am typing it looks like there is now snow coming down. I don't know if it is a mix or just snow. I think I will have to investigate. Timothy's other new trick is that he can sit himself up. He can go from being on all fours to sitting. I know that I need to get some more pictures up so I will try to get that done. Elizabeth is doing much better now. She takes her medication without complaining and she does not always have to have the chocolate syrup which is nice. She does still like to have a treat after though. I think it is offically just snow coming down. Sorry to keep jumping to the weather. The kids and I will start attending a Bible Study soon which will be nice. Also the first year resident wives are starting a book club which should be interesting. I have really gotten into reading lately which is odd for me. Those of you who know me the best know that I am not much of a reader. Since October of 06 I have read 6 books and I am a quarter of the way through another. Not bad for someone that hated to read. Well, I think that the family is starting to get hungry so I must retreat to the kitchen before the ambush.

Nothing like being pulled down the driveway by the kids in the stroller. I think it might be a new kind of sledding. The kids and I went to a neighbors house to play and when we left their house I ended up being pulled down the driveway due to the ice on their drive. It was not fun trying to get up our drive with the girls in the stroller and Timothy in my arms. Well, I am being paged so I will have to write more later.
