Bball time

When the weather warms up enough we go outside as much as we can. The kids are enjoying the basketball hoop and play quite a lot.

Snow and Cold!

While we were in Texas, it was snowing in Richmond. Luckily, it snowed enough to allow us 3 snow days the week after we retuned from Texas. We really appreciated the days home with the kids. Especially since when while we were gone, our pipes froze and BURST. Thankfully, our neighbors helped our parents and called a plumber quickly and there was minimal damage. The kids enjoyed playing in the snow and we enjoyed a few relaxing days at home and time to clean up the mess that the flood left in Dan's workshop and in the garage.

JMU Championship Game

 In mid-December the JMU dukes earned a spot in the National Championship football game. There was quick talk of a trip to Texas to support our team, but it seemed so far fetched for Dan and I. After we talked it over we realized missing the chance to be there was silly. We decided to go for it. There were about 25 of us total in our group, coming from Va and South Carolina. Nama and Poppy came up to Richmond to take care of the kids while Dan and I jetted off to Dallas, Texas for the weekend. To sum it up in just a few words: it was amazing! Despite the rather odd cold front that hit Texas, we just had the most fun reuniting with our college friends and cheering for our alma mater.

GO DUKES!! National Champions for 2016!!
