High 66! What?

Yesterday was such a gift- it started out rainy but the rain was chased away and the day was balmy and sunny, with a high of 66 degrees! It was really wonderful despite the fact that I spent the morning at Dewitt Army Hospital, and that I had been up all night with a sick child. We saw a tiny rainbow fighting through the clouds as we prayed for a parking space and circled the overcrowded lot.

Harris was due for his 9 month check up- but he had been sick with congestion and a fever and vomiting so our "well check" was not exactly that. But his measurements were good, and the nurse practitioner we saw said his illness is viral, something we just have to wait out.

Ruthie also had her 5 year check up, and passed with flying colors. She likes going to the doctor now- it gives her ideas for when we play doctor.

Jay ran 4 miles and washed and waxed the van, that is how nice it was outside! I got to go out with friends for dinner and a movie- a definite treat. It was hard to leave with sick children at home, but it really was so refreshing to be with friends, enjoy a nice meal, and watch "The Blindside." As I was driving to the restaurant I heard a dj forecasting 6 inches of snow at the end of the week. It was so weird, as I drove with the windows down, no jacket on, to hear about snow coming. I knew the mildness was short-lived, and January would return with a vengeance. But the promise of spring is there! Winter doesn't win!
