We had a double-dose of snow this past week. For months, we had planned to visit David's brother and his family in Maryland over Martin Luther King weekend. On Thursday (leaving day), Greenville got snow. School was cancelled and I freaked at the thought of driving at night through the snow covered mountains of Virginia. So, we left Friday instead. 10 hours in the car, two days at their house, 10 hours back led to one tired family. But, Maryland had just gotten six inches of snow so my kids were in heaven. They spent hours outside sledding. Inside, Macon got to play with his cousin who is only a few days older. It was a very nice time, just the getting there that was hard.
Hannah has her last short-course swim meet next weekend then we have to decide if she will continue once the pool switches over to long-course. I think she will stick with it. She has gotten much better and if she keeps going, the benefits of this exercise will stick with her for life.
Knox signs up for baseball on Saturday. He is excited about it, although I am not. I have never been a big fan of baseball anyway and he is not the greatest player. It makes for a long season. But, he really wants to and I think it is important for him to be involved on a team.
Katy is riding still after a haitus over Christmas break. She took her horse over the "jump" today for the first time by herself. Meaning, no lead from the instruction but keep in mind that the jump is just a 6-in pipe lying on the ground. Basically, as long as she steers towards it, the horse just steps over. Anyway, she was excited about being back but it was cold!!
Macon is still Macon. No sports for the spring but he wants to play tackle football this fall. I don't know if we can handle it but he needs a sport where he doesn't have to wait very long for his turn. He actually did the best in gymnastics so if I can get over the whole "this isn't really for boys" thing then maybe we will go back to that.
David and I are hosting a Wii party this weekend for our grownup friends. It ought to be interesting. My friend who conked her kid in the head asked if it was a BYOH party---Bring Your Own Helmet!

Glad your trip was fun even though you had to trek through the snow. The boys can't start tackle football here until 3rd grade, so Cobe is signing up as well for the fall season. He can't wait! I feel the SAME way about baseball- like watching grass grow if you ask me!
