Caleb,

I'm so sorry you didn't get many letters this last week.  We finally have "licked" the fevers & sickness and everyone should be able to make it to school this next week.  It really wiped us out good though!

So, did you run out and throw yourself out into the snow for the "love" of it!?!?  Bro. Traveler sent us a few pictures and said that you have been working hard digging people out.  I guess we don't get that kind of snow here, huh?  It looks like the temperatures will be rising this next week to the 50's so are people worried about flooding?

I hope you're feeling a little better about sitting down.  Maybe the snow is a blessing for you to rest from the bike seat.  We can't find your mouth guard anywhere between your room & bathroom. Any other hints for us to look?  Has Dad mentioned about anything about the "Sova" mouth guard?  We're thinking of sending one to you from Amazon for $40.

We just celebrated Samantha's 11th birthday tonight.  It's so hard for me to believe she's 11!!!  She had her friend party here yesterday and loved it!  So did Sariah, of course.  Sydney wasn't planning on asking anyone to the "sweetheart dance" until a friend asked if she would ask her date's exchange student, Dominik, from Slovakia.  So, she just asked him last night and the dance is this coming Saturday.  I think she's actually excited!  Now to find a dress!  She just passed her last driver's Ed this last week and finally got her license!  Yeah!  That's it for the girls....

Jacob & Adam are trying hard to catch from missing so much school.  Jacob is going to the dance this Saturday too.  Adam was the only one who could go to church last week and was ordained as the new Deacon's quorum president.  I feel bad because he got the sickness that night.

Your cousin Natalie Winkel just gave her mission farewell this morning in Rexburg.  We didn't go because it was snowing but Grandma & Grandpa went.  She's entering the MTC this Wednesday and will be going to the Netherlands (Belgium).

I don't know if Dad told you yet but we are leaving for the cruise this Friday night.  We'll soon be in your quarter of the world (same time zone, anyway).  It will bring back a lot of memories from our trip last year.  Btw, Baxter & Snitch started coming in the garage doors again last night...weird!  Now we have to lock the doors.

I sure hope you continue to have positive days.  You're letters sure are fun to read and you guys sound very successful.  I'm so excited for you to be able to learn & speak Spanish!  That's sooo cool!  You might only have one more month left at your current address, right?  I wonder what kind of feelings Elder Hudson is having.  You're probably going to miss him.  You know, we're thankful to him too, for being such a good missionary trainer & example to you!  You're always in our thoughts & prayers!

Love you so much!!

Mom
