It was a pretty good weekend. We all had fun and nobody broke anything. I was glad I carry the toolbox in the Jeep - Fred had his spring pack come loose and a spring leaf was rubbing his rear tire. We used the Hi-lift to jack it up - I found a use for the Jack-Mate... It dug into the snow & ice and the jack held fast (the flat foot on the jack slipped the first time and dropped the Jeep) - We got it fixed right there on the trail.

Katya had a good weekend at my parents house, it looks like she may have a bit of a cold. She spent last night in her castle - she asked me to set it up for her so I did. I figure she is a good kid for the most part, she deserves something special once in a while.

I got Dell to replace the server at work. Hopefully I'll see it in a week or so.

Well, tomorrow we will be spending the day at Paragon Offroad Park. It should be a fun day for all. We will have somewhere between 3-6 Jeeps in our group.

It's been a crazy week. I had a server go down twice this week and had to restore from backup both times. It's a good thing that I'm compulsive about my backups... They saved the day each time. Of course it meant a couple of real long days (and nights) but it all worked out. I haven't had much time to blog lately between work and being in Philly. We had fun in Philly and I definitely want to do it again. Maybe next time we'll bring Katya to the Franklin Institute. Katya is doing well, She is actually starting to get out 4 syllable words and her reasoning is getting much better. She really is a smart kid. Tomorrow I am taking the day off to spend with her before we go to Paragon park this weekend. This will be the first trip to the park in over a year I think. We went after I got the Jeep, but that has been a year and a half.

Weekend in Phila

We spent the weekend in Phila, it was pretty cool. Yesterday we went to the auto show, today we are planning a little shopping and maybe the Franklin Institute. Katya is staying with my partets this weekend. We had a nice dinner last night but I think Rain had some bad food... She was up all night with a sick stomach.

Its been pretty busy at work lately and I haven't really been on the computer much to write. I'm still chugging away at the Russia trip 2 log. Getting closer... a page or 2 at a time. Katya is growing... She started with a 5 1/2 size shoe and is getting ready to move into a size 7. 2T clothes fit well now and by spring she will be moving up from there too.

Katya has a new favorite movie - Peter Pan - the original version. She has to watch it once a day.....

Snow... more snow and sluch on top of what we already have.

 

I have been working on typing up the journal from our second trip to Russia.
