I'm still here...






Hello all! Yes, I'm guilty. The one who was super excited about this blog...and now I struggle to post. Ack! I'd feel more guilty if I didn't know that I am in good company.

We the Mortons are all doing pretty well (especially compared to everything the Fernley Johnson families are going through! I count my blessings!) I am sick of winter, that's not news. Sadly, in Wisconsin, there will be many more weeks of it. I've decided that my personal hell would not be fire and brimstone, but bitter, biting, windy, cold. Guess that's what we get for living here...it's the same every year, no surprise, I don't know why it still bums me out every year. It is getting better. Sunday, it was about 30 degrees, sunny and no wind. Hey, I know it's still cold, but it's "warm" enough that I can bundle up the kidlets in coats and hats and not worry about frostbite. There's a 50 degree difference between 30 degrees and the sub-zero temps we've had lately. It's all a matter of perspective. I guess.

The only other news around here is Ty's sad Happy Birthday. We were meeting Jake's brother and his wife and kids at a pizza place for his birthday party on Saturday. The place wasn't open and we were waiting in line. Ty was all over the place running around. He tends to be a little top heavy and he trips often. This time, he managed to catch the corner of the door and split open his head. I heard people screaming my name from the back of the line and went back to find Jake holding Ty, blood everywhere. Naturally, I freaked out. We left Brooklyn to party with her cousins and headed to the ER. Two hours and 7 stitches later, the ordeal was over. We picked up Brooklyn from Ty's party and headed home for naps. Poor Ty. Luckily, I don't think he knew what he was missing.

I'll post some pics of the kids. I'm getting super excited already for next Thanksgiving!
