It snowed today. Usually, I'm ready for it. Usually, it makes me happy. Usually, I can't get enough of the cottony white stuff. But this year, it seemed that it was wetter, colder, and messier than I remember it being. It clung to my clothes, my hair, my eyelashes, and I wanted to cry...however, the brimming tears could have been attributed to the 5 hour wait and $60 bill for our snow tires to be put back on the ol' trusty Accord. Ready or not, winter is upon us...

Oh, Chloe. We love you! (And this picture wasn't taken today...phew).

...we'll just be catching up on our gossip. Have a good one. No, a GREAT one :)

That right there is what Michelle had removed from her left femur on Monday evening. And by "removed" I mean it was most likely violently ripped from her leg through four gruesome incisions, including one in her knee. Oh, and in case you were wondering...she's 16.

Some perspective...

...and some more.

Unfortunately, our experience at Sacred Heart Hospital was not as pleasant as our first go around exactly one year ago. The whole experience has opened our eyes to our nation's health care system, and truthfully, it is terrifying. Michelle left bruised and battered, in more ways than one. As good family friends put it, "When life hands you lemons...oh, nevermind!" Let's just say we're ready for a break...and actually, that's an understatment.

Michelle is going to have a bigger mansion in heaven than me. She's pretty much a rockstar and I have the privelege of being her older sister.

P.S. Jason worked hard on that "Bible Index Tabs" banner. Way to be, Jase :) Now, take it off our blog...
