Wonderful Husband and I spent the day at the Virginia Wine Expo. We have gone since it started three years ago and it just keeps getting better every year. At this point, we know the wineries we like and the ones we don't. It is so nice to be able to get to stock up on some wine from our favorites.

Basketball

The Soccer Player has become The Basketball Player this winter and has LOVED it! She has only scored one basket and is shorter than most of the girls she plays with and against, but she doesn't seem to mind a bit. She just runs back and forth the whole time and has a blast! It is really very sweet.

George Mason

While I was off on my girls' weekend, Wonderful Husband took The Gals up to George Mason for the homecoming basketball game. They had a fantastic time in the alumni tent getting their faces painted and having a caricature picture done of the two of them together. Here they are with George Mason and his wife.

College Gals

Just got back from my annual trip to visit my college gals. We went to Smithfield this year to do a bunch of shopping and eating. It was fun as always. The three of us lead such different lives. Phone calls never do justice to trying to filling each other in. It was nice to be able to have time to just sit and catch up. Looking forward to next year!

Back and Better Than Ever

Hello!! Long time no blog. I know. I know. I am sorry about that, but things have been a bit crazy around here. There are a few things you should know:

1. We are no longer homeschooling. The Gals and I came to a mutual decision that it was not working. They went back to public school a couple of weeks ago and are doing well. I am definitely taking a bigger part in their schoolwork and am looking at their teachers as my assistants in educating my daughters.

2. The Soldier is in his AIT training phase, and we should find out soon where he will be stationed.

3. Since November, we have been to New York, Washington, DC and Disney. Loved every minute of it.

4. We have had major snow issues (for this area) happen over the past two months. While it was fun the first time, we are now completely over the thrill.

Now that things are starting to settle down, I promise to do my best to update this blog on a regular basis.

Thanks for your patience.
