Blizzard of 2026

Last Sunday, it was the calm before the storm.  I dropped the twins at Hebrew school, then went to the gym to do body pump again.  

When I got home the snow started.  

Ariel talked to her college counselor.  Yes, college counselor.  

I covered the cars.  

The snow got heavy fast.  

I made a chicken with apricots in the crock pot.  It cooked all day.  

The snow from the last storm had finally melted, then it was all back!

Eli was busy making Stranger Things prints.  

Of course Ariel had to sleep at Cece's house.  

The roads weren't too bad yet.  

THON ended!  They raised $18.8 million!

Aden made a pie.  

It was a full on blizzard!

They came in the middle of the night to plow the first time.  

 

Back to Puppy Yoga

Last Saturday, we called an appliance guy.  The fridge had been making strange noises all night.  Luckily, he was able to fix it but he wasn't sure how long the fix will last.  

Ariel woke up at Cece's house.  She hung out with the bearded dragon.  

Then they back to puppy yoga in Philly.  She was here last week for a party for her friend's sister.  This was her friend's party.  Different dogs.  

But still cute. 

I took Eli shopping to stock up before the big snowstorm that was coming.  

It wasn't took crowded and we got everything we needed.  

Calling for 12"-18"!

THON was still going on.  

We went to Melissa's house for dinner.  

We ate Harvest then watched the Olympics.

 

Dance Marathon

It's Thursday night!  Another week has gone by.  Again surrounded by snow.  Last Wednesday, Fionna came over and Ariel tried on her cheer outfit.  

Ariel wanted to wish you a belated Valentines Day.  

Last Tuesday, I 3D printed Amy a holder for her sponge!

Eli keeps finding cool stuff to print.  

A cassette tape of Running Up That Hill from Stranger Things.  

Last Friday, the drop off line was nuts.  That's what happens when it rains.  

That night, I went to see Jordan play at the Green Parrot.  

And watch the Olympics.  

That night was also the start of Dance Marathon at Penn State. FOr those of you who don't know, it's an honor to be asked to do this.  The kids stay on their feet for 46 hours.  They raise money for the Penn State Hershey Medical Center.  Lanie's choir sang for the kids.  That's her second from right.  

Our sitter Dani was dancing.  

As was Kylie.  This was only the beginning.  They had 2 days to go!  Have a great weekend!

 

Lacrosse

Last Tuesday, this is how I woke up.  

After work, I went to get Melissa and the girls at the airport.  Honey was so happy to see them.  

And they were happy to see her.

I took Ariel to her first lacrosse practice.  It was at this huge tent place in Trenton New Jersey.  

It was massive.  They were playing lots of sports at the same time.  Volleyball, baseball, soccer and lacrosse.  

A bunch of Ariel's friend were there.  

Ariel was nervous.  

All ready to go!

Dave and Julia and a bunch of other people were there.  

The girls did well.  

Ariel said it was a lot of running.  

It was a late night.  Practice ended at 9:30.
