Happy Groundhog Day

Okay, Phil saw his shadow so we are to endure six more weeks of winter. Based on the kind of winter we have seen in Northern Virginia so far, this is not much of a curse. Maybe it's too early to judge because based on the weather trivia in today's Washington Post, February is the snowiest month in the US.

Tim and I are messing around with setting up this blog. We have enjoyed checking in to Ryan's blog so much that we thought family and friends might enjoy doing the same with us. Makes it a lot easier to keep everyone updated. We'll add photos as soon as we can.

But, we have to leave soon for a Punxatawney Phil party (the kids see yet again Mom making a yummy treat that they can't have because it's for a party!). Tomorrow we are having new acquaintences over to watch the Superbowl. They had the ODC position in Poland a few years ago and we are getting together to learn about living in Warsaw and what Tim can expect in his new job.
