Is using MLK's famous "I Have a Dream" speech as an introductory segway to a blog entry tantamount to sacrilege?

The answer is yes and yet here I go.

I have a dream...and in that dream Auntie Stephanie still lives in our front bedroom and Aunt Pam, Uncle Chris and Holland still lives two miles down the road from us. Alas, Pam and Supa Steph had to venture back to their respective warmer and semi-lateral cold climates yesterday to carry on with grad school and teaching the third grade. Thanks for the wonderful visit and the celebratory Martin Luther King Jr. birthday fondant cake, gals. We are all eagerly looking forward to your next visits.
















As Murphy's law would have it, the ground is covered with beautiful snow and it is almost twice the temperature as the high on Saturday. Sorry, Pam. Here's a consolation picture.
















Zach and Amelia were happy to see each other this morning. It had been three long days since they last hung out, which translates to almost 9 days in baby time. Not to mention (but I guess I just did) last week laid claim to probably the most fun event we've had to date. Since aunt Pam was here and I had an extra two helping hands, we went to the COSI (Center of Science and Industry) on Friday for a field trip. Both of the kids were completely entranced by the Ocean and Space exhibits especially the astronaut potty...I was too scared to flush it while Zach was sitting on it, though, as he may have been sucked through the tubes and out into the stratosphere somewhere (Mr. Steve is all about safety). Even as tired as Zach and Amelia were by the end of the trip, they were way too entertained to complain about it.

Have an happy Tuesday.
