Days like today

It snowed this morning. Took Jessica to school, she called me a little bit later and said "find out the schedule". We live only two blocks from school so the snow was no trouble. we even did doughnut in a vacant parking lot on the way hehe). Well, sure enough... delayed schedule today. So I picked her up, we get coffee and come back home. I said 'lets try to make a snowman' (we make one every year). Well, not quite enough snow for that but enough to make good snowballs! We had a little fun. Oh and this was/is Spirit (i never can spell that word) Week at school so she got up early and dressed in all "green" shades... you see it is "monochromatic" day. Big fun. Ok back to the snow.... then her boyfriend called (yes, moms, they're coming), he wanted to know if they cound go to McD's one block away, then he'd take her to school. i said yes.

My point of all this is this.. I miss and love each of you. I want you to know that. I also want you younger families to enjoy this time with your kids. Do the fun things with them. Enjoy the snow.

Love, Brian
