A point-by-point update of the past 17 days:
-We spent most of Christmas in Minnesota with Kelly's family. By some miracle, we dodged two different ice/snow storms in Iowa and were able to make it up there with clear roads. We had a 12-hour window when Iowa was NOT getting ice or snow, and we took it!
-Kyler's now 5. He asked for a cake with a brown puppy, green collar, green grass, and a rainbow. Kelly made it happen!
-Todd's now 23. No cake. But he had shrimp!
-We taught ourselves how to play Backgammon.
-We had a "second Christmas" in Red Bud on the 30th.
-We spent Todd's birthday at the mall in Fairview, checking out the Way of Lights, eating some delicious seafood, and ringing in the New Year with the family playing dominos and Scattegories.
-Kelly is now the proud owner of a Loon cookie cutter.
-We met the local fire department.
-Ryan and Jess took us to go see Marley and Me yesterday!
-Last night we went ice skating in Steinberg Park. The weather was WARM ... there were even a few (teenagers, of course) ice skating in shorts.
-We go back to school tomorrow ... gahh!
-I'm sure there's more we could say ... we'll post 'em if we think of any.
