This is a little late only because I just downloaded my pictures.
This was taken on Feb. 20 at 10pm during the most recent lunar eclipse. I only wish I had a better zoom lens to really capture it, but I think my camera did a spectacular job.

We're back online
We finally have a functioning computer at our new place. Sorry it has been forever since you all heard from us, but I assure you everything is just fine. Jonathon is currently stuck in NJ due to their "major" winter weather (yeah, okay...). His three-day work trip turned into a four-day trip, so it's not all that bad. He was able to get a lot done and feels good about his progress.
Erich is doing well, learning all sorts of new words and phrases. Just today, in the public bathroom with my mother-in-law, Erich proceeded to say "poopy?" about 100 times. He also discovered how to check under the stall walls and meet his neighbors also making "poopy."
And I am currently putting my feelers out and thinking about switching to another department. Just this morning I had an interview with Infusion Services (doing IV therapy for all sorts of people). The interview went really well and I should know if I'm in next week. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of seniority so I'm not getting my hopes too high.

Oh, bother!
What I call annoying, but pretty, is heavy snow (about 4-6 inches in a few short hours) on moving day. We are trying to move and the day starts out with freezing rain and ice and turns into thick, heavy snow. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE SNOW, but not today. I would have taken a picture but my camera is at our new apartment.

Michigan, the Beautiful
Jonathon and I had a wonderful trip to Traverse City this weekend. Little Erich was left in the care of his grandparents while we ventured off for a break away from parental duties.
We spent the weekend snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and wine tasting. That's about all you can do there during these frozen months. At least we didn't have to compete with any crowds. There was NO traffic; something we never experienced in New Jersey, even in the country at 2am.
There wasn't a lot of snow there, but just enough to enjoy our winter activities. We definitely recommend this area for those who love the outdoors in Winter.

Puppy Kisses
Today we saw some sled dogs at the library close to our house. A woman, who lives nearby, gave a presentation about how they train the dogs and such. It was very interesting and they had a pretty large crowd for a tiny country library. Erich was very fond of the dogs, but not so fond of the licking after a while.
And, well, we're enjoying the snow-filled winter here in Michigan. Jonathon went ice skating on a pond behind his parent's property today and we spent some time pulling Erich around in the sled. It's supposed to rain on Monday so we're soaking it all up.

Beautiful day in the country
Erich had fun, Saturday, doing chores with Grandma and Grandpa. What weather!! It was a beautiful, sunny day (about 40 degrees). Unfortunately all of our beautiful snow is completely gone.
Of course, now the snow is slowly returning and temps are dropping to the 20s this week. Ahhh...blessed Michigan winters. I think Jonathon and I are the only psychos who love this stuff.
Jonathon is currently in New Jersey working on revisions for his thesis. And, because he is gone, Erich is ill again. His teething, then coughing, then fevers, then thick yellow snot...here we go again. I'm sure he'll be better just as Jonathon gets back on Thursday.
Other than that, life is going well. We are looking forward to Jonathon defending in late February and then he will finally be Dr. Schramm!!

Laurel and AJ
They're finally wed, those two crazy cats. Actually they have three crazy cats, but that's besides the point. Laurel (Jonathon's baby sister) and AJ tied the knot this past Friday. The ceremony was lovely and the reception was very lively and fun. Congratulations!!!
