* Our church (and many others around here) canceled services last Sunday because of snow and ice. It really wasn't too bad on the main roads in town, but a lot of subdivisions and of course the country roads were a mess, so it was good to have people safe inside. Ryan and I thoroughly enjoyed our actual morning of rest at home, hanging out, taking it easy, resting, etc. Mid-afternoon, we packed up Deuce and headed for Ryan's mom's, so we could stay with her while Allen cleared out their lane. That's a multi-hour project. Nita was having a good day, and we enjoyed talking to her!
* Ryan sent me this picture on Monday - they had homemade pineapple cake at work. He was so excited!! Know who wasn't excited on Monday? Deuce. He mourned every single time Ryan left the house this week. Poor guy. He did help me with Monday chores, though, including making the little chocolate/bubble wrap presents for Ryan's co-workers.
* I spent most of Tuesday cooking and cleaning, so we could be ready to host small group that night! It was so good to see all our friends and share together. We learned so much from them and had a much-needed boost to our spirits. Deuce slept through the whole thing. He was just happy to have Ryan home. Nothing else mattered.
* You know, if Deuce hadn't been here this week, I fear we wouldn't have had any pictures at all. Nothing else photo-worthy happened on Wednesday. I found him sacked out on our bed when I got out of the shower, I dug up a spare Phoebe toy for him when he looked bored, and he slept in his favorite modest position for most of the day. It was collllllllllllllllllld that day, so we were glad to have a night at home!
* I ventured forth to women's Bible study on Thursday and enjoyed hearing from the ladies about what they'd learned. Deuce did some sort of highly invasive surgery on the stuffed moose that afternoon, and that night, Ryan and I went to stay with his mom. She had some visitors while we were there and seemed to really enjoy her evening!
* Friday was a beautiful, sunny day, even if it was still crazy cold. I just appreciated the sunshine! I knocked out another cleaning and organizing project: swapped out the hangers in my closet for the new ones my parents gave me for Christmas! And we elected to stay home all night and rest. Ryan was so wiped out from a long week.
* And yesterday was my favorite. He didn't have to work, and we didn't have any caretaking responsibilities, so we had a whole day to ourselves. We'd wanted to do a county tour, but we couldn't leave Deuce for the whole day, and it was too cold to hike parks or anything (with him) so we just had a lovely low-key date day. Sleeping in, breakfast out together, some shopping, some resting, some razzleberry pie, some projects at home...lovely.

So many Deuce highlights! It's so interesting to read that services get canceled - Synagogue just happens and if we don't get the minimum quarum of folks we just don't say all the prayers!
