And it's off...

Today was what we call our "crazy busy day" as we have multiple actives that we love to do on Thursdays. We were, however, given a small break from the craziness this morning in the form of the kids had a two hour delay because of the weather. It was only a small break though, as I had a scheduled appointment for Lucy to see the orthopedic surgeon at 9:30AM. So what could have been a very relaxing...

Just another day...

We have managed to keep the stomach bugs away! Jack was the only one who really fought that battle. All of the rest of us felt some relief in knowing that we avoided that one. We are more conscious of germs than ever before! In fact, germ fighting has become such a fact of life that even our kids are telling their friends to wash their hands for as long as it takes them to sing the ABC's "normally"....

A Snowy Day

We unexpectedly received several inches of snow on Monday which made our kids oh so very excited! I have to say that I too was loving the landscape yesterday as we felt like we were inside a snow globe. I'm a winter girl at heart when standing in the warmth and comfort of my house looking out, but I don't really love being freezing cold. When you have lived away from the very frigid temperatures...

How much sleep is too little?

It's Sunday night and we have had a rather sleepless weekend. We are currently at war with a stomach bug. Jack woke up in the middle of the night saying that his body felt "shaky", this is code for look out I'm about to throw up all over you and everything in my way. Drew and I were so out of it that by the time we realized what "shaky" meant we were seconds too late to defend ourselves. We then spent...

Another Friday

Yeah, we made it to another Friday! This week seemed to fly by, despite all that we had to do. Lucy's leg is doing better, she does not appear to be in pain anymore. I think that the weight of the cast is what is bothering her the most, it is heavy weighing in at approximately 11 ounces. When you weigh almost thirteen pounds, eleven ounces is a significant weight to have on just one leg. I took her...

In Recovery

After a much needed weekend, we are all recovering from last weeks experiences. Lucy is doing remarkably well for having a heavy cast on her entire left leg. She is still able to crawl around, though not nearly as fast, but is unable to stand which is only mildly frustrating to her. Again, she amazes us with her strength and determination. Don't ever underestimate her, she may be tiny but she is mighty!...

About Last Night...

I am going to start this post by saying how blessed we are to have the friends we have in our life! Yesterday I posted about how tired I have been, that Drew has been out of town all week, that I went to DuPont twice last week, and that I think that I deserved some sort of badge of honor for surviving a week without my husband. I now need to forfeit my badge of honor as I no longer qualify for this...

What's Happening

Hi everybody! It's been a while since I posted anything about what's been going on in the Marlett household. I have been either too busy to post or too tired to stay awake to write a post. Time is precious, I find myself weighing everything I do with the need for more sleep. I am always wondering whether to do this or that or go and take a nap. If on a rare occasion, and I mean rare occasion, that...

We're Still Here

I was speaking with my sister yesterday when she mentioned that I haven't posted anything in a while. I know, I know, I could tell you all the things that we have been up to but I'll spare you the details tonight as I am just writing to tell you that we are still here. The kids are all doing well including Lucy. Somebody please knock on something as I fear I have just jinxed us. We are trying to get...
