Happy V Week

The blog color has been changed in honor for Valentine's Day Week and also the VM Performance on campus. I'm not going into the details of this. If you want info, please go to http://webspace.ship.edu/wmscentr/ OR http://newsite.vday.org/. Be warned that these links might not be for the faint of heart. I will also point out that the event, cause and proceeds go to improving the lives of women in the local area and around the world. February is proving to be a warm month. The past three Februarys have been cold, icy and miserable. The temperature has been in the 40's and 50's during the day so no complaints here. Our backyard was a SWAMP on Sunday morning once the snow had all melted. I'm afraid that March will bring a blizzard and another 6 inches of snow. This will round out our total to 12 inches for the year. :-) Exciting upcoming events in February include Valentine's Day, AJ and Eli Sloan's respective 1st birthdays and my 29th (Whoa) birthday. Callum recently discovered the Tupperware (plastic container) drawer and happily played for 25 minutes there yesterday while Iain and I cleaned up after dinner. He's also come to appreciate and want my cell phone and our digital camera whenever he sees them. I took some great pictures of him advancing toward me last night. I'll try and post some soon. Hang in there, stay warm and wear RED--my favorite color.
