I get a lot of comments back about my blog which are so encouraging! But I have realized that I may have not been giving an accurate representation of our life here in WI. I tend to put on the best pictures and the funniest stories. So I'm going to tell you a few things that have happened lately.
The flu went through our house a week or so ago, Sam, Isabel and I got it. Sam was home with the flu and I got a call, Isabel was at school and was on the risers in the music room practicing for her Christmas program and she fainted, hit her head and shoulder on a stone wall and woke up in the nurse's office. I brought her home and she got the flu within an hour. Sam's elbow has been sore lately and we haven't been able to figure out what happened and we thought it might just be like tennis elbow. Last night I took him to get x-rays and he has a broken arm. Poor guy has had a broken arm for probably 10 days!
Please pray for my extended family also, my mother took an ambulance ride from her small town in Argentina to a small town called Tandil nearer Buenos Aires to be closer to relatives and nicer home as well, the first night there she fell and broke her femur. She had surgery yesterday, that is a whole other story.
Have I mentioned that it is pretty cold here, when I got outside I hold my breath thinking that it may help me keep warm, I think I'm going to give myself a heart attack! Today it is 12 degree with the wind chill it is -8.
We all really miss California! That's all I'm going to say about that.
I'm going to quit complaining now, 'cause we are fine. I just wanted to give you a better view. All of our families have stuff and issues and God is still good.
Ok, now for some more interesting facts about Appleton, WI. They only have one Santa Claus and he goes to all the parades and is at the mall. He comes here every year from out of state. The kids love him. You can watch this video and get to know him, cut and paste it into your Internet Explorer. He is pretty cute!

C'mon Cathy, let's see some pictures of crying and drama (the kids, not you and Mike). We know you have some... ;)
As a WI native, I have to laugh at your experiences here. Looking forward to lunch on the 23rd. Does Mike have a blog as well?
