Hi Aloha,

Sorry to hear about your Mother-In-Law, hope she feels better and things get back to normal for you soon.

Your pictures always make me eager to live in a warmer climate, we had a big winter storm here today. Our 3 kids stayed home from school and pestered each other until I forced my son to do his homework and took the oldest daughter to a friend's house in town (seperate and overcome concept).

This winter has seemed longer than usual!

Thanks for the "mini-vacation" with your family!

Mike
