I'll give you sunscreen!!! Supposed to be -35 windchill overnight. Definitely too cold for sledding...but it sure is pretty, isn't it?

Crap...
...my new digital video camera needs a 2.0 port to transfer video to my computer. Does my computer have a 2.0 port?? No. @#$$^&&*$$(&^%$@!!!
More winter
Well, it is snowing sideways... The kids are getting out early. Windchill is 17 degrees. But ha ha!! It's only 58 in Tucson right now!

Winter wonderland!
Six inches of snow last night, ya'll! We still had swim meet today. I took some video with the new digital video camera...whoopee! Now I have to figure out how to get it onto the computer...soon, I promise!

Update
Not too much to report at the current time...we're all getting back to our routines of school and work, although Mark doesn't have classes yet.
We had another offer on our house, but it was very low. For the moment we've passed, although we are considering taking a low offer with the knowledge of gaining a good neighbor. It's hard to know what to do. Should we just take the hit financially? Will the next offer be higher? It's not just about the money. Yet I know that among the houses in the price range of ours, ours is definitely one of the nicest despite its drawbacks. Ugh... On the upside, our town is a more steady and stable market than the national market.
I'm thinking of torturing myself by posting comparative temperatures between here and Tucson, where my parents are:
Our town: 8 degrees; Tucson: 40 degrees (well, I guess it's only 8:30 in the morning there)

Pics from Christmastime
We have a picture somewhere of my dad with M4 in almost exactly the same position as this:
A pretty cute pic of this trio:
M4 and some new Playmobile dinosaurs that like to eat Wampas:
M3 enjoying her big present (of course, I'm already worrying about her damaging her hearing. Thanks, Santa!!):
Said Wampa and a happy boy:

Happy New Year!
Sorry to have been lax for a while...celebrating the holidays you know! Hope everyone had a great holiday! We went ice skating in KC. Here are the kids with Aunt Noelle. M4 did really well his first time out on a single blade! It was over 50 degrees out...it's nice not to skate in a parka.
And here is our sweetest, cutest baby cousin V! She was the source of much entertainment, whether she was sleeping, burping, filling her pants, kicking her legs like a marathoner, or (the best part) smiling and laughing at us. She was definitely the feature attraction this holiday!
