Sorry I have not had time to post. Every weekend Mike, I and the kids have something going on. And I have been starting a great new project at work. So...here is an update on what has been happening...

Gabe won 1st place in his Den and 2nd place in his pack during the Pinewood Derby, He completes in the districts this Saturday

Katy is now doing swim team 4 days a week and is getting quite good. She came home with best report cards she has ever had -- making almost all A's and the honor roll.

Mike FINALLY is getting moved to Mon-Fri -- all day shift at AOL. Whee !

Mike and I celebrate my birthday and V'day by going to Middleburg for the weekend of Feb 9th. We stayed at the Red Fox Inn which was nice. And check out a new wine bar in Middleburg, by Boxwood Winery, who also plans to open one in Reston. We also went to the 1st Annual Virginia Wine Expo (an indoor event) and had a great time trying new wines.

That's all for now....I'll update over the weekend. ;)
