The Giants win the Superbowl(!?), Cory turns 8, a lunar eclipse and a snow day

Wow, February was busy.

Who predicted that the Giants would make the post season, let alone win the whole shebang? A bunch of us gathered around on Superbowl Sunday to watch Eli and a bunch of no names take on the mighty NE Patriots. What a game. Even if you weren't a Giants fan it was a great game. And it had one of the defining moments in sports history - "The Play" - Eli breaking free from what looked like a sure sack and then hitting David Tyree(!?) downfield where Tyree catches the ball with his helmet! Incredible. Made even better by NY beating the hated NE Patriots!

GO BIG BLUE!



The kids put on a special own Half Time show.



February 16th Cory turned 8! To me he is still my baby, I can't believe he is 8 already. We threw him a small party. The kids had cake, the grownups had beer, and everyone was happy. Ok, the grownups had beer AND cake. There, I said it.



Happy 8th Birthday Cory!!!


February 20th was the lunar eclipse and I quickly snuck outside and tried to snap a few pictures of the event. This is the only picture I took that came out remotely Ok. For this shot, I mounted the camera on a tripod and set the shutter speed to 3 seconds.



Friday February 22nd we had a nice late February snow day. We probably had about 6+ inches of snow total. The kids had a snow day from school - boy were they psyched! What's better then a snow day if you're a kid?




Jason, enjoying his snow day.
