Ground Hog Day

Today is Ground Hog Day and tonight I will be going to a friend's house for our circle meeting and will be eating Ground Hog cookies which is a tradition of Polly Egan's. They are gingerbread cookies that she makes every year to commemorate Ground Hog Day. She is from Poxatony, Pa (I know the spelling is very wrong, but can't find the correct spelling now. Her sister was Poxatony queen for a year and we have named Polly, Ground Hog Queen of our circle. She gets teased every year, so I'm looking forward to those cookies and ice cream.



Our trip to Florida was wonderful. We loved being around Cole, hugging him, just staring at him. He certainly is a gift from God and very special little boy. It was so hard to come back home and leave the kids in Florida. And after this weather, I'm ready to move to Florida. Jess & Derek were down in Florida last weekend and had a blast, though, Caleb is not too sure about Mommy holding Cole. Check out Jessica's blog to see a picture of them together. I can't pull that image up. Having technical problems here. What else is knew.



We had some good news from Amanda last night. They found a condo by the ocean, 5 minutes from the base and will be moving mid March. So relieved. She will be posting pictures up the end of the week, so check out her blog Thursday or Friday. They are very happy. They also have a squatter living by them in the mountains in a crate between their house and someone elses. He threatened the neighbors so they are trying to figure out what to do. Amanda is alone most of the time as Matt is doing his "Marine" thing, so we're pretty nervous with her being there alone. Amanda goes to the doctor's tomorrow to have an ultrasound done so we will be anxiously awaiting to see if we are having a grandson or a granddaughter.



If you want to see up to date pictures of Cole and Caleb, please go to their websites. Maybe next week, I'll learn how to go to their picasa album to get up to date pictures. In the meantime, visit their blogs. HAPPY GROUND HOG DAY!
