For publicity for the Ronald McDonald House fundraiser, we had a photographer, videographer, and an interviewer capture our story.

Cool
Isn't Anthony the picture of cool, with his shades on and doing his fist bump?
He really didn't want to keep them on.
He really didn't want to keep them on.The kids thought it was fun to see how the glasses fit on Anthony.
Maggie created a forest fire for the fire truck to come fix. See the paper fire between all the trees? Kinda made me worry when I realized my child might be a closet pyromaniac, but seeing that she was creating work for the fire crew made me worry a little less....
Since being home again, I've been cleaning EVERY DAY. 
The nook is going to be an organized mess of a room for now. The filing and crafty things are on the left, Josh's rock tumbler in the center, and the buffet on the right will hold hair styling things. We're going to put a large mirror on the right wall, so the girls (and Daniel) can use the nook kind of like a vanity area. Our bathroom is just too small to have it all set up, plus if someone's doing their hair, no one is willing to use the downstairs bathroom unless it's a DIRE emergency. So, this way, we'll have a safe place for heated hair appliances.
Kelly's class at church made masquerade masks for their activity last week.
I promised Josh that if it snowed, we could have a fire.

Since being home again, I've been cleaning EVERY DAY. Still taking bags and bags of trash out, overflowing our garbage can the day after collection, and now our trailer is full and ready for the dump too.
I'm not even close to being done either!
Last week, Andy cleaned the stove and made cookies while I worked on the nook.

I promised Josh that if it snowed, we could have a fire.Anthony was fascinated by it.
The day after our fire, it was so cold outside, that we woke up to this 63 degree reading INSIDE the house. It was so cold!

This is how Anthony watches movies so I can shower knowing he won't be getting into anything.
We went over to Seattle this weekend for the Ronald McDonald Hockey Challenge.

We went over to Seattle this weekend for the Ronald McDonald Hockey Challenge.Anthony was the main poster boy for the big fundraiser, and got to drop the puck.
I'll have a new post about that soon, with lots of pictures.
The night we arrived, we stayed at Nana's.
Andy was able to install her new shades.

One last official ceremony
Matthew 16:19 records Jesus Christ telling the Apostle Peter: “And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”

It was snowing so much before we left for Seattle Friday morning! The flakes were so big, it seemed like they were the size of silver dollars!
We all wore our church shoes outside so the white slippers wouldn't get wet.
Daniel chose his bow tie instead of the typical tie.
We are so thrilled to have Anthony be ours for eternity.

Mama called the doctor
My Husky fan.... j/k
Anthony had his monthly visit with his pediatrician here.
It all went well.
It was Anthony's first time getting labs taken at the lab since getting a port placed in Seattle.
We had heard horror stories about how things go so badly once patients get home.
Our lab was excellent, and did a vein draw within about 30 seconds!

Fun with our friends
We visited Christopher's family on Saturday.
They have the best acreage!
The Highland cows down their road.
Anthony is loving the new train table from Christopher's family.
Taking Kelly to a dance after we returned home on Saturday.
We started working on switching Daniel's room with Maggie and Lilly's.
We saw 4 limos yesterday...that was interesting.
