How cold has it been at Berea-Rose?

Very.

Well, the cold snap finally broke yesterday. We're still up in the 40s -- feels like spring. The snow is melting fast. The very disturbing snowman we built out back yesterday already bit the dust. He was still standing this morning as the boys headed off to school -- but he was looking very gaunt and was leaning backwards most unnaturally.

Bazzukajoe, Ellexa's walking is fantastic. But if you ever thought about conducting potty training here in the Cleveland area, be sure to wait until spring.

You really want to make sure all the ice is gone first.
