STS-119

So I am calling all of our prayer warriors. We have a really close friend who is the pilot on the Space Shuttle Discovery that was scheduled to launch in February of 2009 but they found something wrong with the flow valve. So the launch has been postponed and postponed until today. I just went on the NASA site and they have scrubbed the launch for tonight and are trying to launch tomorrow night. They found a slight leak in the gaseous hydrogen vent line which prompted NASA officials to scrub Wednesday night's attempt to launch space shuttle Discovery on STS-119. The scrub was ordered at 11:37 p.m. our time. The launch team is resetting to make another attempt Thursday night at 8:54 p.m. EDT or 5:54 our time. We ask that you keep Tony, Janeen , Michael and Danny Antonelli in your prayers are they wait to hear if they will launch tomorrow or what will happen. We are looking forward to watching the launch on NASA TV online but are also very hesitant to watch because this is family. Prays please!

Winter Storm 2008!

So we finally got my long awaited snow. I love it as long as I do not really have to go anywhere. So needless to say, Elliott and I have been at home for 2 days now just playing and cleaning. We did go out today and play. HE LOVED IT! Here are a few pictures.

So this year was our turn to go to Spokane for Thanksgiving to see Wes' Brother and Sister-in-law and their family. Before we had Elliott we never really minded the 5 hour drive, but now it seems to take us all day. We left Wednesday morning and got to Spokane around dinner time. Elliott did great. We stopped for an hour for lunch and then pushed on. We had a wonderful turkey day with Wes' Aunt and Uncle and their family and our family. There were about 25 people. The highlight of our trip was probably Friday when it SNOWED! Elliott has never been able to play in the snow because he was to little last year. I was not sure how he would do but he loved it. He did not however like to eat it. Here are a few pictures of the snowman building that Grandpa did with the kids.
