The kids and I at the pool in PA, where we had fled following a 48-hour power outage. We were not sure when it would resolve so we made plans to visit Grandma and Boompa for a short but nice visit!

A few new videos, visit to PA
Grant has been working hard, practicing guitar, and working out tunes with the help of his guitar teacher, Ryan Little! He's been working on Beatles songs, like Here Comes the Sun!

Christmas 2012
Another Christmas is in the books! It was a nice relaxing, traditional holiday for us all with Elisabeth in town to join George, Therese/Oma, and us! Here's the pictorial summary. First pics are at Oma's house Christmas Eve.

Annual cookie baking-a-thon
It was endurance cookie baking weekend. They will be packaged up and handed off to teachers and neighbors. It was about 48 dozen of four different kinds: chocolate crinkle cookies, chocolate chip cookies, sugar cookies, and cranberry-walnut-oatmeal cookies. YUMMMM!!!! We had a great system going and parchment paper is my favorite! It sure makes it go smoothly.

Town of Blacksburg Holiday Parade
Grant and I went with the Solar Connexion float to hand out candy along the parade route. The float won an honorable mention, but I still think it was THE coolest one out there, with lights powered by solar-charged batteries.
My part was to have the idea and register the float (5 minutes). Bryan and his family got the lights, did the decorating, fixed the hitch, got the candy and baskets (8+ hours?).

Updates on the Entrepreneur
Grant got his first "corporate" check for a big raking job he did for Shelter Alternatives. He worked there 5 days in a row, after school and on weekends!
He also received a reply back from his letter to Warren Buffett. He basically sent the letter back, with this note written on the top. It was kind of a cool way to do it, so Grant will have the original letter and his autograph both together!
What a kid!
