Perpetual Winter

This winter has been utterly insane. They're saying it's one of the worst, ever! Here are some pictures taken Sunday morning when we woke up to (another) blizzard. This is our 'backyard.'

This is our new favorite game: frozen tug-o-war. It's like regular tug-o-war but it also involves blinding sideways blowing snow, and a frozen rope.

Khairie's second favorite game: find a stick, tree limb or trunk frozen into the ground and try to yank it out.
trudging on!
'mommy, my feet are cold!'

Other than feeling brutally oppressed by the weather, things are going well. I'm staying extremely busy with the classes I teach and take. I'm really enjoying teaching each one of my classes. Now if I can only keep the good vibes going through midterms! My undergrads (the 90 of them) are doing their best to drive me crazy. I can't tell you how many insane questions I get every day. I'm starting to get really crusty and cynical in my emails.

Arie is very busy as well. In addition to his full class schedule, he's counseling at a local community college, school counseling at a local junior high, supervising a masters level counseling student, and personal training a girl in his cohort 3 days a week. Yup. We spend time with each other...during stats class.

I had a post op appointment this week and xrays show that my finger is healing really well. My wrist is feeling fine. I can keep up on the push ups with the guys in my resistance training class, so what more can I ask for?
