A busy, busy week and bad internet connections have combined to bring you no new blogging. We had visitors (yah!!!), went visiting, got a huge snowfall, and covered the city. I have officially made the jump from teacher to parent. The end of winter break could not have come fast enough. The Jump-o-lene is FINALLY back, which is good, good, good. Pics to follow if I don't get kicked off.

Travel 800 miles to watch a zamboni - definitely a trip highlight!

No vacation is complete in Boston without a trip to Dunkin' Donuts.

Repeat after me, "I will NEVER visit the aquarium

during a city/nationwide school vacation again!"

This "cute" photo of our kids sharing a milk crate is a bit deceiving. The twins have very different skating styles. Collin cruises around the ice pushing a chair/crate/sled. Without anything in front of him, his legs are putty and he falls a lot. He loves to fall. Even if he gets himself going without a crate, he will quickly collapse into the ice. Cayla does not like crates. She is completely balanced and in control and s.k.a.t.e.s r.e.a.l.l.y slowly and NEVER falls. So, back to the photo. Cruising Collin (look at all the snow in front of his crate) has zoomed into his sister. To prevent a fall, Cayla has grabbed onto the crate. Neither is happy with the situation.
