Today was the last day of February interesting and sometimes confusing year. Overall, though for us, it was a good year. I guess it’s all about what you make of it.

We’ve really enjoyed the holidays this year.. especially having our boys with us. \u00a0 We’ve had a lot of people in and out of the house.

Nothing says lots of company like having every spoon in the house be used.:-)

after a workout and short run, dianeand I headed tot he waterfront in Burlington to help with setup for fluffy.. we’ were performing from 2Pm until 10 PM.. .. thankfully it was a relatively warm and sunny day (in the 40’s which is crazy warmer this time of year)

<\/p>\n

It was great seeign Chris’s Champ he’d made for the burn. He made two of them forming a heart.. in reference to the need to bring people together after such a divided year.\u00a0
