Brrr...excitement!

[Lori]: So it's cold today...seven degrees below zero (-7). The high today will be -5. Tonight the low will be -20 or something. It is winter, and we are alive.
And although that is exciting, what is even more exciting is the impending arrival of our beloved friends Beth and Alex this evening! Coming in from Baltimore where is was 60 degrees yesterday, they might be in for a shock. Although having lived here before hopefully they will dress appropriately. We will find out. They are coming to meet Molly, so look for photos on the web site soon.
Fun, friends, food, beer, talk...too much fun is in store for us this weekend. Hope everyone has a good one.

Too long

[Lori]: Ugh, it's been too long since I last posted something here. What's the point of having a blog if it is not kept up? I can't stay on top of this simple thing, and they (ah yes, whoever "they" might be) let me have a child?! What is this world coming to?
I lost something I wrote here a couple days back, which made me sad and mad and so I did not bother to try again for a while. Real mature, huh. I am here now.
Perhaps in an effort to be more timely or frequent or something I will just write short little notes here, to remark on what Miss Molly and I are up to. Today, we are focused on trying to stay warm. Dang...it is evil out there. I like winter, and have been waiting waiting for it, but this is a little much...zero currently, and the temp is still going down, down (like the sun in Gail's awesome poem, for those of you familiar with that work of art).
Molly is beginning to wake, so I will be going. We will read a book (If You Were Born a Kitten, perhaps?) and then work on thank you notes. If you are owed one and have not received it yet, our profuse apologies. We are going as fast as we can.
