Happy New Year!





We took the boys to the Cleveland Zoo yesterday for a little celebration that they have for kids called "Happy Noon Year." The animal exhibits are open and at 12 pm they have a countdown and a ball drops and it's a nice little early version of the new year's celebration that the kids will probably sleep through at midnight.

We saw tigers, bears, lions, sea lions, giraffes, etc. Max's favorite was the camel because it was standing right up next to the fence and we could get really close to him. Jake liked watching the sea lions swim. Although crowded, it was a good time and a beautiful day weather-wise. As of today, most of our snow is melted and now everything is very muddy.

Last night, Max stayed at Grandma's house and we went to a friend's house for a party. There was a friendly ten dollar buy-in poker game. I am proud to say that I took down the 80 dollar prize pool. Jon was proud of me.

Max is asleep in his room so I am going to try to get some work done on the computer. I have lots of data to analyze!

Wow, we can't believe Jake looks like he's an old pro at walking. Get ready Becky and Eric.
