up north again

We just got back from the cottage, but this weekend was not as fun at the last one where the fam came up for 'Winter Classic' 2009. I will post pics once I get my PC back. That is where all the pics are stored and it fried last week. Hopefully Dave can work his magic and fix it!
This weekend was a somber one for us...we found out on the way up that our dear friend and neighbor John passed away on Thurs. night. He had numerous health problems the past couple years, but died from pnuemonia. He was only 67 and Chris met him on a walk the first year up there...1996. That was his first year up there too. He retired early from GM due to heart problems, and we shared a lot of dinners, converstations, and coffee. He was a cool guy and will be missed.
We did go snowmobiling for a while, but it was very cold. Drew gets bored on the straight-a-ways, but totally loves the trails! All of those dip-hilly-thingies crack him up! We had to stop a few times to make sure he was laughing and not crying! He was so bundled up, but I could see the smile in his eyes! He was a trooper thru the funeral arrangements too, and it never ceases to amaze me to see him get stressed when he feels our sorrow. Such an empath!
We are home now and looking forward to seeing friends this weekend at the Superbowl party. Go Cards!!!! Chris is going for the Steelers, but I want Kurt Warner, I mean the Cardinals to win! We are betting a whole dollar on the game. Fingers crossed, y'all!!!!

Almost 1/2 way there!

Usually, I begin my 'Days till January is over' countdown on the 1st or 2nd of the month. I just realized it is the 12th, and I haven't started the countdown yet! WOOO HOOOO! Maybe it's cuz the snow has distracted me...it is so pretty when it snows. Plus, we can play in it! Maybe it because Drew is cracking me up lately. He is kicking his legs right now, watching the Irish dancers on 'Superstars of Dance'. Watching Chris incorporate the 'curly shuffle' in his dance is good for a few giggles as well.
I so want to take Drew to 'Monster Trucks', but they are coming on the 17th, and we won't be home that day. I think he would love the monster trucks and all the activity. The noise would bug him at first, but he would adjust to that quickly. He is such a boy. Ever since he was really little, the more smash-up, crash-up the better. We used to have Elmo vs. Barney Smackdowns and such. Good times, good times. Oh, yeah...bodily functions kill him too. Boys!!

Facebook addict.

Hey, I need to get on here and post the pics of Tday and Christmas. This past week I have been immersing myself in all things Facebook. I joined months ago and didn't realize how cool it is! Check back soon!!!
