Nephews!

We had 2 of the 3 nephews come visit us Friday night. Sally was down in Ottumwa to see Josh, Debora, & Thomas with Sam in tow. They came down for grilled pizzas and some relaxation.

We got some fun pictures of Sam, but not many of Thomas. He was sacked out most of the time, but managed a squeal now and again


Sam got to know Auntie Mara & Linus got to know Auntie Sally:


Linus isn't happy until he is almost laying on Sam...who didn't seem to mind him too much:


A good shot of the Bacon Kids & thier sons. Linus is as close as Mara & I get:


Mara got Sam dancing while Sally sings the "Safty Dance" song:


We had a really nice time visiting with everyone! We don't get to leave "The 'ville" too often so it's great when we can get some company down this way. Hopefully Sally missed some of the snow that was pummeling the Eastern side of Wisconsin!
All of our snow melted by Saturday day, then we got 2" of rain Saturday night & then 3" of fresh snow Sunday. What a turnaround! I was chopping wood in a t-shirt in 40°F weather on Saturday, and single digit lows for the next few days. Hey, at least we aren't getting hammered by snow like in Wisconsin! :P
Other than that we had an pretty uneventful weekend. Mara has a Biochemistry Final, an OTM Final, and several quizzes this coming week so she has been studying pretty hard despite fighting off what could only be the enfluenza virus. She's a trooper though! Hope everyone else is staying virus free!
