Sunday

As a result of Lucas' head injury on his bike his face has been swelling up. This is Lucas yesterday after church. His forehead and bridge of his nose are swollen. This makes it hard for his eyes to open all this way. In person his profile looks much more flat than normal. Today he is developing two black eyes. Feel lucky he is doing so well though.

Cousin Annee has inspired me to pull out my sewing machine this last week. She sent some darling fabric and said she was waiting for some pictures. I made a skirt and shirt and have not stopped. This is one of the skirts I made Friday. My plan is to make matching ones for the baby.

-17 + windchill

This morning before breakfast it was -17. When I decided to take a picture it had warmed up to -15.7. This is of course without the wind chill and there is wind. They cancel school here when temperatures reach -20. You have to be TOUGH to live in Wisconsin. This might also explain why people here tend to wear a little more insulation on their body.
