Snow Play

We have had two whole snow days in Atlanta this year. My friends in the mid-Atlantic are ready for an end to the winter, but the snow has not yet worn out its welcome down south.

This year, the sight of the snow on the trees, the crisp feel of the air, and the blanket of quiet have made me miss the western slopes. It has been three years since I wore a pair of skis, and I miss it. Yearly trips out west are something we gave up when we decided to have kids. We will ski again - hopefully many times - but we will not be able to recapture these days.

Already Texting

Occasionally, Bryan and I talk about the things that will be so different for Lee growing up than when we were little. For example, Lee will never have a land line telephone in his house. How old he will be when he realizes that this thing exists?

Improper Use

Lee received a tool set with a "real" power drill for Christmas. Needless to say, this workbench has commanded his attention since the first moment he saw it. Lately, however, he has started using the drill on himself. Sometimes, he hits himself just right, and giggles. Tickling does not appear to be the goal, though - just wondering how it feels!
