Winter has set in in Central Pennsylvania. Don't get me wrong, we are not experiencing cold like Maine. Or snow like Maine. I love being able to wear my fleece and feel fine while people all around me are zipped up in their furry parkas, shivering. You can pick out the southerners in the winter. I went to the commissary at a time where there are people, but it's not crazy busy, only to find it crazy busy. One of my California friends was there and she asked if I was shopping to prep for the big snow fall. Then I realized why there were so many people and I knew full well that the shelves of bottled water, bread, milk, eggs and toilet paper would be sparsely stocked. I told her that I didn't realize that we had snow coming and she replied with huge eyes..."Yeah! We are supposed to get two inches!!" I laughed and she then giggled, remembering who she was talking to. It has been fun to make fun of people and then show them pics of the day we took sleds up on the roof.

| That would be Kyle Butler (nephew) on the sled with his brother, Jake, standing to the left, in February 2011 in Houlton, ME. We got about 18" of snow overnight. |
This is a picture of what closed down Carlisle Barracks for the day. We were all very excited that Daddy had a snow day, but I hope that you all laugh as hard as we did.
Yup. Slush. Grass peeking through...although the use of the work "peeking" is laughable, right?
So, amidst all these "blizzards" and freezing temps, not sure if we hit freezing, but it would look like it seeing everyone bundled, the girls started basketball! The schedule was a bit easier than the 4 night a week soccer schedule, and it helped move the winter along a bit. Julia played basketball back in Hartland several winters ago, but this was Hope's first season. They both are doing great and are enjoying it. Julia is on a team with 4 boys, no girls, but seems to be holding her own. She seemed a bit intimidated at first, but found her aggressive spirit.

| These shoes were MADE for Julia!! Pink and purple. Once we saw these, there was no other shoe that would do! |
 |
| Nice shot, Hope!!! |
