Christopher, our 2 1/2 year old menace, did something today that has us grinning ear to ear. Our youngest monkey has gone the entire day, from 8:00am this morning until I am typing this now, wearing the same pair of underwear and pants. Yep, that's right.......a whole day diaper and accident free. What a big boy. Whoooooooo Hooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You da MAN!!!!!

The Power of the Music of the Night
Saturday night offered a rare opportunity for Lori and me. You see, when you have young Monkeys at home, it's really difficult to align the stars to enable you to have a "date night". It had been what seemed like forever since the last time Lori and I went out on the town. Well, thanks to my wonderful wife, that all changed on Saturday.
Lori was very kind, and purchased tickets to The Phantom of the Opera that was playing at the Fair park Music Hall. It was my Valentines present from her. She made arrangements for Cricket to watch the kiddos, and we had the night to ourselves. Wow, it was great. I have been a fan of The Phantom of the Opera music for years, having owned the CD for almost 20 years. I know most of the songs by heart, but I had never had the opportunity to see the Musical performed live. Seeing it live was great, and we had a fantastic time.
Here is a picture of Lori and me taken by Aidan just before we left.
Lori looked stunning in her evening gown, and it felt good to play "dress up" for a change. Hopefully, we won't wait as long before our next "date night", and we'll have just as much fun as we did Saturday.
If you ever get a chance to see The Phantom of the Opera live, I highly recommend it.

PS. Thank you so much Cricket for taking care of our little Monkeys. I know it can be a chore, and we really appreciate your help.

SnowMonkeys
That was a whole lot of snow and a whole lot of fun. 11.2 inches officially. That's the most snow I've seen at one time in my life. I think I had just as much fun playing in the snow as the boys did. Here are a few photos that I snapped during the day.
Great fun. In Texas, those opportunities will be few and far between. We made the most of it, and stay outside much of the day. The snow's all gone now, but not the memories. I will cherish those for years and years to come.

Winter's Last Stand
Winter is putting up a valiant fight in it's quest to defeat spring. 11.2 inches of snow yesterday and last night. If we lived in Juno that might not be such a big deal, but here.........it's huge news!
Wow, looking out the window it's just beautiful. Deep white pillowy snow covers everything. I will have plenty of pictures up later, but for now just know this.......school's canceled and I will have two really happy snowball throwing, snowman building, frost covered boys to enjoy the day with.
Woo Hoo.....................I can't wait.

Angelic Subterfuge
Cold, wet and dreary. That's about all you can say about today. It makes you want to crawl into bed and just sleep. Hopefully, there's sunshine forecast for the near future. Spring cannot get here fast enough.
We've been kind of busy lately, but we got a chance to go down to see my mom and brother last weekend. We had a good time, and it was nice to give mom a great big hug. Her treatments are hard on her, but she is doing well. Like I've said in the past, she is one tough cookie.
It was hard to see mom without any hair. I guess seeing her for 44 years with hair made it a bit tougher. I did not want her to feel alone, so I shaved my head before we went down. Yep I got out the shaver, popped on the ol' number 2 attachment, and off it came. I've got to tell you, now that's it's done, I really like it. I might just have to keep it this way for good. I'm pretty certain mom has other plans for hers.
The kids are all doing great and Lori is as wonderful as ever. Baseball starts back up in one week. Woo Hoo we're looking forward to that. Hopefully it will warm up a bit in the next week. It's much too cold for baseball right now.
Well, got to go, got some things to get done. I will leave you with a picture of our youngest money laying on his inflatable fort. This picture shows you how looks can be deceivable. How you ask? Well, he looks like a little innocent precious angel here, that's how.
