Oh. My. Word.
The. Weather.

I really think I have Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).  When it's my turn for prayer requests at Community Group on Tuesday evenings, I have been known to say the weather in the most pathetic voice.

One day we're doing yard work and Collin Henry is enjoying a picnic in the front yard and the next we are burning through firewood like crazy and praying the power doesn't go out because, well, ICE!

Other things worth mentioning from the past few weeks -

I posted a while back that there was a dead duck in my freezer.  That's because it was special...  Something known as a "banded duck" to hunter people.  Jarrod had the hook-up and got a good deal on having it mounted, so now there is a dead duck in Collin's bedroom!  And he absolutely loves it.  Named it Mr. Quackers. 

Our sweet friend, Kristen Wiley, got herself engaged a couple of weekends ago.  Whoop-whoop!!

Also, we have spent a lot of time cheering for the Harding University men's basketball team.  Collin thinks the student section is just the neatest thing ever, and he copies everything they say and do.

The cutest little clapper you ever did see!

And in case you missed it, we got a significant amount of sleet Sunday night.  Temperatures are supposed to reach above freezing some time this afternoon.  We're going on two days of cancelled school this week, combined with all the other bad weather days we've used this year, teachers and students will be going to school around here until July 4.

He had just slipped and busted his rear, but he thought it was hilarious.
