Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Brrrrrrrrrrrr! Another cold day in Michigan, but at least the sun is out. We had another round of snow the other night and everyone here was disappointed to be one of only two schools open in the entire county the next morning. Tonight is our last regular-season game and then we begin playoffs on Monday night, taking on Paw Paw. We've beat them twice now, but anything could happen. If the boys win on Monday night, the next game will be on Wednesday night. Our girls' team just lost last night in their race to become district champs, so their season is officially over. Things are cooling off on the hardwood court, but that means that things will start warming up on the golf course for Keaton. First, we'll have to wait for all the snow to melt so we can even find the course!

Update

It's been a busy couple of weeks. We went out snow shoeing again with our friends and had a great time. This time, we went to a nature preserve and then headed over to a state park for our adventure. One trail had stairs on it which made for quite a challege. Since I didn't feel like spending the rest of winter in traction, I opted to be creative and slide down the stairs on my natural padding - my big booty. After warming up and taking a nap, we headed out for another birthday celebration with friends. We went to hear a live band play and had a great time out on the dance floor. I haven't decided yet if I'm done celebrating my birthday. I might have one more day because I get a new outfit everytime we go out to celebrate!

Last week, I did nothing but hang out on the couch. I had to admit defeat to the flu. I didn't do my hair or makeup for five days, so that's concrete proof of how sick I really was. It wasn't pretty - me or the illness. We had two snow days and did a lot of sleeping and shoveling. The sleeping was much more fun than the shoveling.

Basketball has been going well for Keaton. He's been starting and his level of confidence is improving. We won against Paw Paw and had another game cancelled due to the snow. He had a really good game against Vicksburg. We won in overtime and he had the 3-pointer that put them ahead. Whew! It's tough to sit in the stands and watch. It's a good thing I'm not a nail-biter or I'd have nothing but stubs left. We lost to Allegan last night, but deservedly so. Our defense was awful and Allegan doesn't miss ANYTHING. On the positive side, we had a snow day again today, so the boys can all sleep in and rest up for the tough practice they'll have today.

                           

The snow continues to fall. Poor Cyrus has been wearing his little t-shirt and cuddling up with us under blankets. He just got a hair cut, so he's been really cold. He doesn't like the snow and does his business as quickly as he can so he can get back inside and get back in the blanket. He's so spoiled that Matt shovels out little grassy areas in the yard for him so he can go potty and not have to walk in the snow. Is there anyone that spoiled (well, besides Keaton)? That's our boy!
