Art Fair at Kaz's School

Kaz's school had an art fair this past Thursday, and we all went up to see his artwork. The school had hung all the kids work in the gym, and it was quite impressive. Here's what Kaz showed. I really like the black-and-white piece and the piece with the circles and lines. His teacher also had activities for the family, and we all participated in alphabet aerobics. What fun!

Gram and Pappa's Visit

We had a great time with Gram and Pappa over the Valentine's Day weekend. We just wish they could have stayed longer.

Happy Birthday Pappa!

Since we couldn't spend Pappa's birthday with him we decided to sing happy birthday to him, blow out candles, and have cake and ice cream. Kaz and Max had a great time! Happy Birthday Dad! We miss you.

New Chair

OK, we broke down and bought a new chair to replace the rocker in the family room/dining room. The main reason for this is to protect our children, as they seem hell bent to cause bodily to harm to themselves by turning the rocker over when they're sitting in it. If they can turn this chair over we're in trouble.

Visit with Christie in New Britain

While in New Britain I was able to meet Christie for lunch and catch up a little on the past six years. If it wasn't for the impending arrival of a snow storm we would have had an opportunity to sample more of the cuisine of Connecticut. We'll have to do that on an upcoming family vacation.

Road Trip from Connecticut

Here are a few pictures of my recent (work related) three-day return trip from Connecticut. One of the pictures was taken from my hotel window in Wadsworth/Akron, Ohio, and it shows traffic on I-76. Most of the other traffic (probably 95%) on the road consisted of trucks, trucks, and more trucks. It was a most scenic trip, though, and in spite of the rain, snow, sleet, freezing rain, and lack of snow plows and planning in Ohio, we made it home quite smoothly. By the way, Pennsylvania really knows how to take care of their roads in the winter.
