It’s a blizzard!
Lily and I went outside to enjoy the blizzard today. Lots of snow and lots of wind. It was fun for a little while but that wind & snow eventually hurts your face. Don’t let this picture trick you though, it’s much worse out there than it looks like.

Great day at the Mill City Museum.
I went with my daughter’s 3rd-grade class to the Mill City Museum today and it was great. This was my first time visiting and I was amazed at how much there was to do and how much there was to learn. I know it was a field trip for the kids, but I enjoyed it very...
