It's snowing...



Renee's friend was way too excited. Those are his tracks in the snow. He knocked on the door at 8:20am, jumping up and down, shouting "It's snowing, it's snowing, it's snowing". The same thing Renee did on Saturday. Now we know why they're friends...
There's no school today. I wish the house was empty again...

Yesterday was Renee's birthday, and we went to Ray's Splash Planet. We had lots of fun. The water temperature was great. There was lots for all of us to do, and even if you didn't want to get in the water, they have a fitness center at the facility. We're planning on going again next month.

For the first time in years, I'm excited about the Inauguration. I was excited about Bill Clinton, but not like this. I'm going to be glued to my tv. Gotta make sure my kids watch, too. They don't really get the significance of it right now, but in years to come, they will.

Well, I'm going to have my morning coffee, will talk later.

Thanks, and God Bless!

I can't watch!

Okay, so I had to turn the game off. Lawrence is screaming at the tv in the living room, but I couldn't watch anymore. Man, so close. We'd have to be on POINT the next half to pull this one out.

Anyway, on to other non-depressing subjects. Nate's game was yesterday, now they're 2-1. They did a great job playing, and because the other team only had 4 players (others couldn't make it), one of the boys on Nate's team played for the other team. We thought that was great sportsmanship. Nate scored 4 pts, and had lots of rebounds and steals. He's turning out to be a very good defensive player.

Bri and I signed up to volunteer at the snack stand. They sell candy, popcorn, drinks, etc.. Since Nicole's son plays at 1pm, and Nate plays at 3pm, we're going to start at 1pm. Then I told the ref/minister that the kids would help after the game cleaning up.

Last night we took the drive down I-85 to the Kevin and Nadine's. Made a great dinner. The recipe is on the side. I got it from a message board I frequent.

Lawrence is still screaming at the tv. He was clapping, and I was going to turn back to the game, but he started screaming again, so I'm going to leave it alone.

Well, I'm off. I have to get our things together for swimming tomorrow. I'm still debating if I'm going to get in the water...

Thanks all, and God Bless!
