SMITHOLOGY

Now that is a pretty picture. For those of you who don't know, Nicole has taken up a bit of a photography hobby over the last few years. I think part of it may come from when we lived in Bloomington, Indiana. It's called BLOOMington for a reason apparently because it would just explode with color and life in the spring. This picture was actually taken outside of my parents' house in Medford last spring. If you ever need a good desktop background, we have tons of them :)

Now to a place where it's definitely not spring yet: Nebraska. It was actually relatively warm the last week or two (we even had our first tornado since we've been in Nebraska last Monday) but then this weekend we had winter storm warnings and even a blizzard warning. It wasn't all that cold, it's just that the wind is constantly blowing. Always. Seriously. Not kidding. Ni un poco.

I know some of you have been asking how Abbie's been doing since our last blog entry. She's on some anti-anxiety meds for now and we actually let her back in our room last night and she did okay. We have really missed having her snuggle with us at night so it was nice.

Other things that have happened this week (some more exciting than others):

• Noah caught a viral cold thing from one of his friends this week so he's been a bit miserable with a fever and sore throat.
• Nicole's parents flew in on Saturday afternoon to spend the week with Noah...er... I mean with us ;)
• We changed it up a bit and did an omelet bar for our Sunday General Conference breakfast. I thought it turned out pretty well. Maybe we'll have to try it again in the future.

Well that's pretty much it, but I hate ending a paragraph with a bulleted list. It looks so unfinished until there's some more stuff after it to bring some symmetry. Yeah I know, I know. OCD.
