Spring! Robins!

There were several robins fluttering around our yard today. The snow has melted away from the south side of the house, including where my tulips should come up in about a month. It's enough to give you hope for an eventual spring, even though it did snow a little this morning and there's still at least two feet of snow on the flat part of our front yard.

In other news, Greg and I had a fun conversation by Skype today with Dan and Kerry. They said they'd been to a St. Patrick's Day parade today (an early one, apparently) and they showed us the enormous helium balloons they purchased for their kids. (Not that I'm calling their kids spoiled or anything.)

Speaking of spoiled kids, Greg fulfilled an ambition that he's held for months this morning. He managed to be first in line at 6:15 a.m. at a local store and he bought a Wii when the store opened. Bowling has commenced!

I thought for sure Greg would break out the old Le Coq Sportif tennis shoes and play tennis on that thing.

I'm glad to hear you're being active Greg.
