Snow Vacation

With warnings of the impending winter storm this week, Greg and I made sure Kate had everything she would need in case it got too bad to be out and about. It did. Effingham Unit 40 was cancelled. Eastern Illinois classes were cancelled. The interstates closed in some areas. Needless to say, the weather was as bad as I have ever seen it. Kate and I were stuck inside the house from Monday evening to Friday morning. The only time Greg left was to go to and from work. Ice, sleet, and snow mixed together for a total of four snow days for me this week. If anyone is keeping track, that is a total of  eleven so far this school year. These snow days have given me the opportunity to catch up on my grad school homework, clean the house, and finish up some organizational projects I have been putting off. The other project for this week has been working with Kate on her balance and putting one foot in front of the other. She has gotten the hang of it, but she still needs some of dad's help, as you can see from the pictures. The last three pictures of her sleeping are my favorites; she has been exceptionally tired lately. Any time she gets overtired, she curls into a ball, instead of sprawling out like she normally does. She must be tired from all the working out she has been doing. I know I am exhausted!
