Short Updates

Posted by Scott at 09:12 PM

Good morning! Our twin boys, Michael & Daniel, were born on the 28th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade. Today they are nine years old. Happy birthday guys! 6:12am

Wow! Besides my own sons, three people I know have birthdays today. Happy birthday to Judy Carr Moody, Janel Bateman Waterman, and Eric Baenen. You share a birthday with our Michael and Daniel who are 9 years old today. 7:59am

Finished dropping off all the kids at their schools. Michelle is off teaching her Hi/Lo floor aerobics class. I'll be VPN'd into work today. Somewhere today I need to think about fixing the weather stripping that tore on my garage door. A thin skin of ice formed and froze it to the ground as the garage door opener kicked in this morning. Argh! Must find some short nails with fat heads... 9:17am

Took Michelle for lunch at Cafe on the Oval and then we stopped by the County Store to pick up some replacement garage door weatherstripping. I'd imagine having it peel off in the winter is a common occurrence. The day has warmed up since this morning to a nice 37°F. Any winter day above freezing is a good day in my book. 1:39pm

Went out to Nashua to pick up Claire & her friend from the movies. Once home I got the boys to bed and joined the girls in watching the new Disney Wizards episode. Catching up on my email I found out that the friends we were praying for did have their baby, a girl. Good night all! 9:08pm
