Happy New Year, everybody!

We had some friends & family over on New Year's Eve, and it was a lot of fun. Our kids spent the night at my parents' house, so Angie and I were free to mingle and engage in some adult conversation. But we also balanced the adult conversation with some Rock Band 2 and Guitar Hero competition (courtesy of Paul, who brought all the instruments, the games, and his Xbox 360)! After midnight, Angie decided to start up some Texas Hold' Em in the dining room and broke even by the end of the party. Can't complain about that!

Steve brought some fireworks to launch after midnight, which was a "blast" even though it was freezing and very windy outside. All the trees are still standing and no forest fires were started. ;-)

We had lots of snacks & cookies, along with Cyndi's baked ziti and about 200 Chick-Fil-A nuggets that Angie and I picked up before the party. And of course we had plenty of alcoholic beverages to ring in the new year.

Here are some pictures taken during the night:

Star Wars Puzzle "You're all clear, kid."

We're working on a new 1,000-piece puzzle called, "You're all clear, kid." It's a Star Wars puzzle that prominently features the Millennium Falcon, Darth Vader, the Death Star, and all the primary characters from "A New Hope." It's been a difficult one so far because of the number of black pieces with "stars" on them, along with the number of white Falcon pieces. But we are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel! Here is a picture of where we are now...

Fairmount Park River Rescue

Went to Fairmount park around 4pm today with the family for a bike ride around the park. As soon as we got there and parked, Dillon said to me, "There's a car in the water!" A minute later, he said, "Someone is inside!" It was the craziest thing I've ever witnessed. Thank God someone was there with a tire iron and a few guys swam out and busted the back window open! One of the guys said he was her husband (he said this as he walked right past me). We all felt completely helpless. I wanted to jump in and do something but I had nothing to break glass with. One witness said she saw the car accelerate into the river... We just don't know if it was intentional. Crazy Easter!
