The snow is going....going.....going....gone!

Well the snow is just about all gone, so I thought I would post a before and after picture of our Buick that was buried under the snow and now has re-emerged, it is almost a 6 week difference between the pictures.

I have not tried starting it just yet, we need to fill the front tire first.  As you can see by the comparison we had quite the accumulation of snowfall.

Now our Rhubarb is beginning to pop up and things are slowly getting warmer, there is still ice on the lake and people are still walking out on it to fish.

They finally opened the supervisor position for my area and I put in my application for that position.  No word yet on interviews

Mary was home on spring break last week and we celebrated her birthday.  We were glad to have her home for a week to just "hang-out"

Sarah has her play production with the Tripoli High school students on Friday night we will be attending.  We are looking forward to watching that.

Matthew will be hiking in Texas over his spring break next week, and that will be a lot of fun for him.  At least it will get him away from his XBOX for a week.

Everybody is doing well in school.

We went over to Garner for Parent teacher conference for Daniel's shop class,  the instructor showed us some of Daniel's projects.  Daniel is doing quite well, he made a nice crowbar, and wooden truck and his welding is very good. He has already made a boot scraper and a nice scoop.

Philomena is doing well in dance and her recital is coming up shortly.

Stephen is having fun with cub scouts and he is currently signed up for swim lessons

our sump pump is working very nicely keeping our basement dry.

OK,  second half of the March Birthdays goes out to

Nathaniel,

Greg H.,

Janice
 
Dominica
 
and
 
Raphael
 
Happy birthday wishes to all
 
and a happy anniversary wishes goes out to Carlon and Connie who will be celebrating their wedding anniversary at the end of this month.
 
Easter is just around the corner and Spring has sprung so everybody enjoy the nice weather whenever it comes!

Math holiday...

Happy Pi Day!



















What are YOU going to do to celebrate? Bake a pie with Pi on it, like the one pictured? Read Life of Pi by Yann Martel?

Sing a song?




But in all reality, math as a whole makes me feel like this song:

let's have another round!

March Madness is here!

Which means a string of birthdays

For now I will wish the first half of the month birthday revelers a happy birthday they are my Dad, Teresa, Tom, Mary and Nathaniel

For their birthday here is a cute birthday entertainment video

The youtube video was found by Rachel V.  Sarah's friend.  Rachel sent it to Sarah and I thought it was cute to pass along for others to see.

we are starting to see more of our Buick

Stephen went to Breadeux Pizza and made pizza with his cub scout den today

we are all very tired today since we got back very very late from Mary's play last night. It was a good production and quite humorous. Mary did good.

have a good week.

Did you check the date?

Because it's COUNT DOWN DAY!

3-2-1-0

Ha! Get it? 3-2-10! And it only works in the US because Europe writes their date with the day FIRST and not the month. (2-3-10.) Confusing, no?

BUT AWESOME!

Philomena's Birthday!

Happy Birthday to Philomena

We did the traditional family singing Happy Birthday to her this morning to wake her up.

She had a fun day, we celebrated her birthday the night before, with presents, cake and ice cream.  We surprised her, she thought we were going to celebrate it later, but we fooled her.

As you can see with 3 out of the 8 people not present our celebration participants are much smaller, and the cake seems to last a little bit longer now also.

I did win a cake at the boy scout roundtable meeting this week so we have two cakes to eat.


The view outside our windows is still white, eventually things will warm up.

Stay warm and keeping thinking warm thoughts!

Snow!

Since the word snow is on everybody's minds
here are a few pictures:

As you can see our Buick is in hibernation, we have a lot of snow up here and it was not worth digging out.

Happy Birthday to all the February birthdays
Anne, Aunt Lourdes, Doug, Mom, Chris, Francesco, and Philomena

Stay warm
