Stuff This Week

Hello, World!

We just finished our "Winter Break" week. We did NOT plan any trips to the Bahamas, but well, you know, we made it to some other fun places.

Like...the Library! The Grocery Store! Ok, we did make it over to Boston's Museum of Fine Arts one day. Friends came over, the kids went to other people's houses. Kara would go to or have her own sleepover here, every other night. She loves those.

And Frank worked. Isn't that just how it goes! The kids get off school, and Dad goes in to work, business as usual.

Nothing earth-shattering. Just a break from the routine. I did not have to set the early-morning seminary alarm in the morning, and rush everybody out the door. That was the best part.

This morning we awoke to 5 inches of fresh snow on the ground. Just when we thought we'd start to see our grass again! Well, not really. The edges of the lawn, maybe we can see a little grass. Most of the lawn still has a foot of ice and snow covering it.

Oh, and here is Kara, playing the saxophone--her photo was in the local weekly newspaper, as she got ready for their Bandfest concert about 10 days ago.

Movies of note:

"Unknown" -- action-packed, keeps you guessing.
"Ella Enchanted" -- her stepsisters are pretty nasty.
"Social Network" -- I really hope Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook founder/boy zillionaire) isn't as unstable as the movie makes him out to be. Kind of a sad story, what he did to his best friend.

Back to setting an early alarm tomorrow. Have a wonderful week! Kari
