lauren looks pretty intense there, like she's got her target all picked out.

Netherlands

Love the ponchos!!!!

Yucky weather here this morning. Thundersnowstorms to wake up to and the wind is still blowing pretty good. Brandon took 45 minutes to get in to work on what should be a 15 minute drive. Hopefully it calms down before lunchtime.

It's cold! In case you forget, the wind throws snow in your face.

Light Snow
-0.9 °F
Feels Like -18 °F

Great day at Condit Elementary. They had a great assembly, "poetry in Motion" Dave Zucker. You can find him on youtube. He was a big hit.
I'm ready for bed though, getting in at midnight and up at 7 was a bit short of a night.

Houston Ohlers welcome Grandma Sandy_mom to the warm, superfun state of Tx and the super special Condit Elementary school!

The surprise ending was not revealed.

Where was the spoiler alert....

Mostly just animal photos...

Rotterdam Zoo

warm sandy beaches, kites flying, kids laughing and playing, euchre and cribbage tournaments, delicious national cuisine....is that a good preview?

so no previews of what is to come...

Well, it IS the third Ohlerama.

the number 3 seems to have run off.

Yup, we got a storm starting up right about now.

Stupid snow again.

Foam roller = awesome for my strained quad.

Heading to the trees for some fresh tracks	Still had one good day left in me.	Had to park so far out that we thought we should get a photo of it.

16:46 for eric, looks like I have much work to do.

Good work Michele. It's like Dori said in Finding Nemo...."Just keep swimming, just keep swimming".

Tracy and Sarah are very youthful if measured against my times. 1.92 miles in 23 min. I'll take it!

Lucky us - Eric and I are off today but the girls have school. Long list of things to do and not one of them started. I'm ready to leave to see if I can jog 2 miles at a 11 min pace. Updates to come...

Hrm, I had forgotten the sound of a snow plow in the parking lot. Not sure I needed to be reminded.

let's get ready to rumble

Thru security and waiting at gate

Head on down to Madison. Good stuff brewing there too.

made level 65 on word mole today. need to delete this app, but seem to lack the willpower.

got to go to lacrosse for 2 days. spotted cow on tap.

no problem, home surgery is one of my specialties

My pace is no better. We aim to finish, not win.

Not trying to volunteer for diaper duty by posting.

Just giving you an update to make me feel old:
1) Frankie drove me home the other night.
2) Sandy is going to Girl Scout "Program Assistant" training tomorrow (she gets to be in charge now)
3) Frank will be having shoulder surgery March 4 and then laid up for 8 weeks. We'll be asking nto for some HUGE favors.
4) I ran 5 miles on Wednesday at a 10:58 pace.

Thanks everyone for volunteering for diaper duty. Looking forward to extra visits.

Oh, that's not a "like" button, that's the "diaper duty volunteer" button.

Thanks Michele. I'm glad I'm not the only person in the world who would be slightly unnerved by that graphic graphic. Also, I don't have facebook so I may have gone a bit overboard on my first "like" button experience. My apologies.
