A snowy Valentine!

I left 85 degree weather last Friday for a very cold and snowy Peoria, Il and I loved every minute of it!  My flight arrived just in time for Megan to pick me up and head to the school where she was helping with Kayley's Valentine Party.  I was able to surprise Kayley with my appearance at her party and I helped with the games and snacks and everyone had a great time.

Saturday I was able to attend Drew's basketball game thanks to some earlier cancellations.  I have seen him play baseball and football but never basketball so that was fun.  I know I am prejudice but Drew is pretty good.  :-)  He appeared to be the only one that could actually dribble up and down the court and he made several buckets!  Maybe that bb game we had in the basement at Christmas helped, with the score 283-248.  Ha!  He saved the score on his whiteboard and we are now in the 600's after this visit!  He dearly loves his sports!

Ryan changes TOO much every time I see him.  He talks a lot now and mimics everything you say so I was careful with my language!  He loves to read and we did a lot of that. 

Kayley looked so different with her new haircut, but I just love it.  It is much easier to comb in the morning!

The kids did not have school on Monday so I had all three home for the day and we had a grand time.  Drew and Kayley played in the snow for over an hour while Ryan and I stayed warm inside.  It did seem to snow every day I was there.  I feel so sorry for them as it has been a long, cold and very snowy winter.  Megan wants it to end.  Soon.

I  had a Wednesday flight back so was not there as long as usual.  It was hard to leave them but knowing I will see them again the last week of March helps very much.  Below  is a video of Drew playing BB and the other just a misc. mixture of our time together playing.
