A big snow and other happenings

We had a pretty big snow this past Sunday night and Monday morning, and Carrie got to stay home Monday and enjoy it. Grandma and Grandpa Gibbs came over and played in the snow with Carrie and Grandpa Tom took Carrie for a ride in the little red wagon and Carrie got to help make a big snowman!

We've had a rough few weeks with lots of stomach bugs and nasty colds. Carrie had a really bad stomach bug and began throwing up and it lasted for a full 24 hours. Then came all the other fun stuff that comes with stomach bugs, which lasted for four or five days. She had to have a catheter to get a urine sample, which showed she also had an e. coli infection. She got over it pretty well, and has the appetite to prove it! She's eaten like a hungry monster since she got over the bug! Our only setback has been getting her to sleep in her bed all night. She slept in our room for the whole week while she was so sick, and now, she hates to sleep in her room. But we are making improvements, so hopefully we'll be back to normal soon.
As for Emily and I, we have about 8.5 weeks to go if all goes as planned, and we are doing well. I have been really tired, but other than that, things are pretty good.
Now Eric has the sinus infection that we've all been passing around, but he seems to be feeling better too. We've also had a good time getting used to the newest addition to our family, Sara Jane. I thought for sure that since she was an older kitty, she would be calm and not very active. Boy was I wrong! She plays more than our young cats, Ellie and Reecy. She likes to get in the washer machine when it's empty, hide in strange places, and make a huge mess when she eats her food. It's been quite an experience having her in our household! Enjoy the pictures!
