Ashes to Ashes
My old phone finally retired itself a few weeks ago when the screen stopped working. Luckily I transferred all my photos to the memory card because I knew it was going to happen soon. Now that they have been transferred to the computer, I have had a chance to look through them. I'd like to share a few with everyone. Some of them are really cute. Then I guess I can find the camera USB and update the picture page. Wohoo!

Old Man Winter
This has certainly been a busy winter. We've managed to introduce Lucian to a large portion of our families within a month. Unexpected and in poor circumstances, a funeral. In the end, we remain with vivid memories and stuffy noses. Thank you Cold Man Winter.
Our first trip was out to the west coast to visit my father's family. It was a blast. We didn't really want to leave. Actually, we were able to stay an extra day thanks to the large amount of accumulated snow and ice before our flight out. I can't say long flights are the most enjoyable thing at Lucian's age, but he definitely did well. I was more than happy to have layovers so he could run around the airport for a bit. We actually discovered a few play areas at airports, which kept him quite busy. I didn't know they existed before. I think Joe and I might have had more fun playing on it than Lucian did. Nahhh, who am I kidding? We made it there and back safely; that's all I could ask for. Well, that and snow. Even though it was cold, foggy, and we were unable to leave the house, we had a great time sledding, throwing snowballs, and playing with my family and their two big dogs. All in all success. Thanks for having us.
Our second trip was unexpected and last minute. We had a long drive out to Indiana and a long drive back. We ended up stopping along the way in both directions. On the down side, we were out there for a funeral; Lucian's great great grandmother. The last time we saw her he was in my belly. On the upside, we were able to see a lot of family that we wouldn't have seen otherwise. Having all the kids together, running around the house was a fun experience. We were so busy while we were out there and still didn't manage to see everyone. I wish we could have. At least we took a few memorable pictures in case the heat of the situation and the hustle and bustle of our time there happened to blur our memories. Thanks for spending that time with us. Maybe next time we can make it to Bloomington.
No matter how expected or unexpected things become in life, you always have family. Take the good, take the bad, take the ugly. In the end, it all looks the same through the family goggles, which can make any situation happier. Now we are going to go make some soup and feed out colds so we have the possibility of sleeping well tonight.
