Mid January

 I am finally feeling pretty good today, which is a relief. I have been extra tired and my breathing has been a bit weird. I have been very careful not to push my lungs.

But yes, I feel more energetic today.


Last Sunday, we got a bunch of snow. Here in southern Ohio, we often get very little snow throughout the winter, so this was pretty exciting.


Kevin plowed out the driveway and made a huge pile of snow for the kids to play in.


Rose on our back deck. You can see how much snow we have!


Random picture of Sarah and Miriam. Obviously a big height difference! Sarah may still be growing a tiny bit but I think she has topped out at about 5 ft 10 inches tall.



Kevin has been making snow ice cream for the children. It is snow plus condensed milk. It has been a great hit. And yes, he does go out in shorts.


I thought this was funny. These two sticky notes were on our counter and they describe the difference between Fe2O3 (rust) and Cr2O3, which is the protective surface layer for stainless steel. Cr forms a protective layer but Fe oxide flakes off. I thought Kevin was explaining it to Isaac, but no, it was to Daniel and Sarah. This is what happens when you have Ph.D. materials scientists for parents.

I love oxidation and protective layers and all that. I love it.

That's about all. Oh, wait!

We got 4 or 5 more inches of snow last night! Very exciting!
