This time last year I was stuck at home for two weekends of February with a sick toddler and pregnant while Jed left town for the annual students winter retreats. To make it easier on parents, the two trips (junior high and senior high) were scheduled for the same weekend this year. While I am normally am involved in senior high on Wednesday nights, the boys and I were able to go with Jed to the junior high retreat this past weekend. I brought all the snow gear thinking we’d be able to get out and play some, but turns out, Kaelem and Quincy were so tired from the night before that they slept from just after lunch to dinner. And I of course wasn’t going to pass on a chance to sleep when there weren’t any chores to do…it was great, and helped me stay up to the wee hours to tie paper clips to very thin fishing wire. That will make more sense if you jump to Steph’s blog.

I think we’re done with trips now until June. Thinking about all the potential traveling this summer at the moment will make my head explode, so I’ll stop now.

Jed designed the shirts we’re wearing. They were actually for senior high who were on a ski trip, but I asked sweetly and he got one for me too.
