This year has become the year for snow in the South thus far, (speaking of January and February) and the kids, including Jake have loved it. I am not sure who gets more excited...parents, kids, or teachers. It is beautiful but I am not a fan of the snow. It's too messy to clean up and when it starts to melt, it just looks dirty. We have found simple entertainment with a box when we are not playing in the snow.
Things here in the Farrell household are good. 2011 is a year with many blessings in store for our little family, I already feel it. My babies are all getting bigger by the day and each teaches me a little something new every day. I am very blessed to have Charity so close too....its great. She is literally ten minutes away and we get to hang out almost everyday. Our family can not seem to knock the cold this year. Monday, I took Christopher to the doctor because I thought he had an ear infection because he has been extremely fussy and that is very much against his temperament but there was no infection. The doctor sent us to the ER, to test and rule out meningitis. The doctor knew something was wrong because of how irritable he was. After several hours there, meningitis was ruled out. We were sent home with a few prescriptions and they presume he has an inflamed GI tract. I was sure on my way to the ER, my baby was fine. I am confident that it was the Spirit providing peace to my soul. Never, did I once feel scared or apprehensive. I had experienced another tender mercy of my Heavenly Father.
