THe last snow storm of the year!



....Hopefully.
It was great. We all got out of work early this during this storm.
J, Ellie and I all got home at the same time. The snow was just so pretty we decided to have an outdoor fire. J & Elle made hot chocolate while I made the fire.

We sat out there for about an hour chillin.. so to speak. It was a great way to Say... see ya later Mr. Snowy Snow!

Sit Still




A few weeks back J took Ellie to have her hair trimmed and "Done". Done = going to a kids hair salon/barber shop which entails watching a movie of her choice in the big barber chair, getting g braids and sparkles in her hair... pretty sweet!

So the next day when we took her braids out her hair was very 80's. We couldn't resist taking a few shots. Well, this little gem came from that.

Words Ellie can say...




Time flies...
When Ellie was a year and a half she was talking.
J decided to use a dry erase board to keep track of all the words she could say.
For fear of loosing this I took a photo of the board we recently found. Some of the words have faded and disappeared but you get the idea.


Next, we'll get her to start spelling the words. So far she's mastered the "E".

Happy St. Patrick's Day!



And what an amazing comeback by our Boston Celtics last night!
Irish Eyes were smiling on the squad last night!

Friday & Verizon FIos

I took Friday off as a day off to relax. HA!
I wound up re-doing our bathroom and J and I doing our taxes that went on for 3+ hours.
A slight snag but they should be resolved today. Finger's crossed.


Saturday we had our Verizon FIos installed. Wasn't supposed to take all day... but it did. The wireless portion wasn't cooperating. The small population of Apple users don't get the best support. It worked for the tech so he left (who was really patient and excellent!) and I waited to get Apple support from Verizon. As usual that didn't happen and I resolved it myself.



We got it. It's great.

I thought I'd share a friend's blog with you all.

Gary's Blog

Gary and I have done a bunch of work together back at my Gamewright days.
He's a gifted artist and a wonderful person to work with who has a fantastic sense of humor.
Not to mention a sports nut. We won't recount the World Series between the Sox and the Cardinals... On a Sox note here's a brilliant illustration done by Gary.

Go Sox!
