Groundhog's Day

It's been some time since I've blogged.  We've all been busy and the holidays buzzed by like the speed of light.  (I'm exaggerating a bit, but they went fast!).  Kevin is in what is being told to him as the hardest semester of dental school.  He has tests each Monday in IMS (Integrated Medical Sciences) and other tests during the week.  So far, he's managing well.  I think we're both just so happy to be here and we both attack each day with what we need to do.  We've become very efficient in conversation as our time to do so is minimal.  Looking forward to mid-winter break!

Today is Groundhog's Day.  Apparently we are in for another 6 weeks of winter.  I say, "What winter?" to some extent as this is very mild compared to Minnesota.  I was also imagining a LOT of snow here, but it's been very little.  I believe we had 4" at the most, then it melted.  Just today it finally snowed enough to cover most of the ground.  Huge Charlie Brown flakes drifted down as Christian and I went to pick Evelyn up from school.  The kids played and played outside, even when we got home.  They, like me, were happy with the outcome of GH Day!  Let it snow...we need to get some more sledding in!  I can't complain however, as it's been a very easy winter - kids have been outside tons, very few slippery roads to contend with and not much shoveling. 

Pictures to post soon!  Until then, seriously Michigan...let it snow!!
