Snowboarding + updates

Coop snowboarding! Is that cool or what? Last weekend after the snow, the boys found an old cheep snowboard that someone left behind and before we knew it Coop had it mastered. Other things going on around here... Well, our hot water heater died last night. Why is it that hot water heaters don't die in August? John spent the day replacing --- can I just tell you how wonderful it is to have a handy husband? The new hot water heater was $350 - installation would have cost $220...lucky lucky me. Finally updated the side bar of the blog a bit...I still have more to add, but wanted to get started. If you're anything like me, you have your favorite blogs/websites...I have copied them out of my favorites and into the blog. Set the Table has a few food blogs I love - I visit a lot, but these three are my current favorites. Visual Inspiration is photography - I love 3191 - love the concept - two friends 3191 miles apart having a daily photo conversation. Their first project was A Year of Mornings which is being made into a book - they are now doing A Year of Evenings---totally worth checking out. Things making me happy today: 1.) Mom comes home tonight 2.) Spring is 19 days away 3.) The Comcast Turtles 4.) Rice Krispie treats with cranberries & toasted pumpkin seeds (LOVE these) 5.) Hot water 6.) Water for Elephants - still really enjoying 7.) 50 degrees on Monday
