When is snows....

it snows. On Saturday we left for Minnesota. Valynn wanted to go to Chris's funeral until 10 minutes before it was time to go, she changed her mind, so we packed up the Suburban and headed north. The funeral was on Monday, the kids were good for me during mass since Mark was a pall bearer and wasn't sitting with us. We headed home yesterday, we hit snow around Waterloo and then rain around the Quad cities. Last night when we got home we found that our furnace wasn't working. We are currently waiting for the replacement part but are keeping warm with the wood burning stove and space heaters that we borrowed. We are getting hit with a storm today, about 2 inches of snow and lots of wind. Mark's classes were canceled tonight. Hopefully that's all the excitement in our lives for awhile.
