>Im wondering if I really need to report what we’ve eaten for the last three days… I think lets just say that we’ve had lots and lots and lots of good food at both of our parents homes! We will post some pictures over the weekend.

What strange weather! Its about 54 degrees this morning here in mid michigan. I thought I would get a run outdoors in a t-shirt and tights until the thunder and lightening started. This breaks our “snow every day” pattern I guess! We had about 20 inches of snow in our yard christmas eve, so its going to mush today. Im going to suggest we all wear fishing waders today.

Yesterday the weather was also crazy. We were driving from Columbus OH to Jackson MI and just south of Toledo we hit freezing rain and almost instantaneously the roads turned into a sheet of ice. Cars were falling off of the road left and right. The highway was shutdown and we all just had to sit in our cars on the highway for about an hour and 15 minutes waiting for the salter to come through and for the highway to be reopened. Scott took this picture of the cars and trucks waiting on the icy road. that beautiful shine on the road is pure ice! he also got out of the car to get something from the back and literally skated all the way around the car. It was amazing we could even drive as we did on that road before they shut it down.
