Tim Luke, our neighbor took this picture of us and the one of all four of us. We're in their back yard. It was a perfect background and setting for our "winter wonderland" shot.

Here's a rare one for you, Scott and me. It happens to be one of 10 pictures that we have of just the two of us. Mark this day. Mom, recongize the wool shirt? :) Thanks I wear every winter. Still one of my favorites.

Snow Day
You know how it is, the weather man says snow and I say, "Yeah right".
In the news we heard that this big snow storm was coming our way. All winter we kept hearing threats of snow and we even got a day off from school because of icy conditions but no snow. The northern part of the state got quite a bit of snow but that's to be expected, but not down here. It's a fun suprise if we get even a dusting.
So when we heard that this storm front was coming to GA, we, I was a bit skeptical. Then the news said, 1 to 3 inches and then it went up to 3 to 5. We ended up with 6 inches in our area!
School was cancelled even before the first flake hit the ground. Yesterday morning, it was cloudy and overcast but dry as a bone. Even late morning, nothing had happened.
Then I went to a lunch meeting that lasted an hour. And when I walked out of the conference room, boy was it coming down. It reminded me of home it was so pretty. By 2 there was quite a bit of accumulation on the ground. My boss came and told us all to take off and go home which I was more than happy to do. I wasn't too sure about driving on the roads with GA drivers. Every time stuff falls from the sky, the crazies come out in people and they go nuts on the road. It's quite scary really. So I was a bit nervous about going home with them on the road but didn't want to wait too long as the snowfall was getting heavier.
When I got home, Asia has already had about 5 outfit changes from what Scott said. Sean was willing to freeze and get frostbite I think. But both kids have been out all day when it first stared to snow. And they've been out for most of the day today.
From what I hear, it's supposed to snow again Sunday evening. We'll see. We haven't gone anywhere, well we really couldn't have if we wanted to. Our driveway was too icy. So hot chocolate and chili was on the menu pretty much all day. I started the chili last night and Scott's been eating on it since breakfast.

Sister Day
I can't believe that Kim is 32! And it took me a minute to figure out how old she really is. I'm getting old. I can't even keep track of how old the kids are. They remind me. :)
But for her birthday, we ended spending the day together to celebrate. We met the Saturday after her birthday at her apartment after the kids got done with there baskeball games. She opened a couple little gifts I had gotten her and we took off.
There was this Indian Restaurant that she had been dying to try for some time but hadn't had a chance to go to so we went. Luckily the lunch buffet was still being served. We just barely made it. We arrived at 2:20 and the buffet closed at 2:30. I don't think the waiters were too happy to see us walk in at the end of lunch. Whoops. But now that we know, we'll get there at a better time.
The food was soooo good. We compared it the Indian Restaurant that Grandma always takes us to in New York, ahhhh mazing! I was so full but I had to get a second helping against my stomach's wishes. Well, I ended up gaining back the four pounds that I had lost. Learned my lesson.
Afterwards, Kim picked out a new cell phone, pretty cool, walked around and did some window shopping, well, she did find some boots that she said I wasn't allowed to walk out without buying. And then we went and saw a movie.
It was a supef fantastic day!

Wrestling
Sean had wrestled for the school when he was younger. But in the past couple of years he hasn't really had an interest in it until recently. Scott's had several tournaments that he had to attend and oversee near the end of the season and Sean obviously wanted to be where his daddy is. Well in the excitement of the tournaments that he attended and seeing the younger athletes participating, brought back the fun memories that Sean had when he did the sport.
So Sean went and talked to the coach and asked permission to join. There was only 2 more weeks left of the seaon, but the coach, knowing Sean, graciously said that he could participate. A dad of one of the older boys had some wrestling shoes that he let Sean borrow. Sean was set.
Now Sean hadn't wrestled since he was about 7/8. But he's so squirrely none of the boys he wrestled could hang on to him for long. He ended up pinning each boy he competed against. I guess it's like riding a bike. :)
