Snow Snow Snow!

Good afternoon/evening depending on what country you are in!

Last week in Coshocton it was quite snowy so the schools were cancelled for at least three days last week. Needless to say all of our activities were cancelled also. This suited me just fine as I have still been feeling really unwell. Called the doctor yesterday morning and the next appointment they could give me was in March! I was at the hairdressers yesterday and normally this is a nice relaxing experience but it became more a test of endurance with severe sinus pain and I ended up going to the Urgent care centre and saw a doctor and am now on antibiotics for a sinus infection so hopefully I will feel better soon. This is a picture I took out of the window this morning to let you see what we are looking at.

I managed to get out on Saturday to an MMS baby shower for Jessica and baby Jonathan. He was born at the start of January. It was a great chance to get to know the other MMS ladies better and celebrate the new baby. I took along some Scottish tablet for them to sample which seemed to go down well, others thought it too sweet. Jessica has two daughters also and one is the same age as Abi. We have arranged for a play date twice and had to cancel due to the weather. We have rescheduled this week for tomorrow so lets hope the snow stops long enough for them to meet. Abi is really looking forward to it.


Abi and Matthew are doing really well. I guess winter in Ohio is going to mean a lot of time indoors. In Scotland there was always lots of soft-play centres you could take kids too. Here in Coshocton there is really just McDonalds. We are very blessed to have a house that the kids can run about in and burn off their energy! Matthew is enjoying pretending to be a racing car everywhere he goes at the moment. Today we had fun painting.






Andy is getting on well at the hanger. One of his highlights last week was driving an aeroplane around the runway to listen to the engine and complete come checks along with another MMS apprentice Paul Jones. His tool box has now arrived - the colour was his choice! He was in the hanger on Saturday also marking up his tools so they don't get mixed up with the others. This will be his tool box which he will take wherever we go in the world and serve with MAF after the three years training in Ohio. Last time we visited the hanger they had a doughnut delivery. I believe the men are having ice-cream and cake this Friday afternoon also! Andy is settling in very well shall we say! : 0)


Time to go and make some lunch.

Hope you are all surviving the winter! Thanks for your prayers and support.
