Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho, it's off to school we go....

A day on the town! Student #11 received some discounts to a hair salon school that just opened right across the street from Cooley. It's the equivalent of a very high end clip, and with our coupons it was $5.00 per. They start you off with an oil head massage, followed by a neck and shoulder massage. You get your hair washed, cut, rinsed, and styled. They also served beverages. It was a bang up time for 5 bucks, and we (Anna, Daniel, and RJ) walked out with a new doo (Student #11 is going to get her hair done on Tuesday). Anna and Daniel's new look.

While waiting for our hair appointments, Student #11 took us all on a tour of Thomas M. Cooley School of Law.

Last week, a water main busted in a building close to Cooley and flooded part of the library. This photo shows an area that is getting a blow dry.

As a result of said flooding the elevators were out for a period of time.This sign was a welcome sight as Student #11's classes are on the fourth floor, and her back-pack weighs about 2 stones. (A Stone weighs about 14 lbs)
Daniel, Anna, Student #11, and RJ wait for the elevator.

Daniel has once again changed his "What I wanna be when I grow up". The boy, who has inspired to be a Rock Star, Boxer, Scientist, Baseball Player, Pastor, Football Player, currently has his vocational sights set on Librarian. Here, Student #11 is showing him the school's library.

Student #11 in her seat. Yes, as you have most likely already surmised, my lovely wife is indeed "Student #11

Have you seen the new show on Channel 4 at 4 in the afternoon? "Judge Anna"

A view of our van for the third flood depository window....

Well, that’s about all for now, Blessings from Anna, Daniel, RJ, and "Student #11"

March of the Miller's

Nobody knows why they make the trek. Is it a need for adventure or just some deep seeded call to watch videos on what is otherwise a do-nothing, and I mean nothing day? When the Miller's arrived in Michigan, we were kind enough to bring a month of much higher than average temps. Now we are blessed enough to be experiencing the lowest temps in ten years. As you can see the Millers have just finished plumping up for the long winters trek.
And now it is time to set out for our destination. The winds of Thor are indeed blowing cold today. As we set out confusion sets in and part of our herd is deciding weather (Yes another one for JR)
to go on. Finally, the deep seeded need for a video is overtaken by the oldest pup's will of survival. She heads back alone. Now, it's all up to the Dad and Son. Cutting through the worst
thing that Old Man Winter could throw at them, they went on. Soon the destination was in sight. Barely. The Men went in and found the sustenance that would get them through the long, dark winter of the soul. The young Cub proudly shows off his kill.
Now, the journey home. After minutes of no food, and very chilly wind, our team cuts through the remaining ice fields. And look up in the distance, the ordeal is almost over. I am happy to announce that not only do the Men make it home with enough eye food to make it through to the Super Bowl, but the pup that gave up earlier did indeed make it to safety. After busting down the last icy barricade, we make it to the warmth of our den. The Old one sits in his lazyboy giving thanks to the Lord for our safe return, when he catches a glimpse of the bravest and toughest animal in the wild. Yes, neither rain, nor sleet, nor snow, nor gloom of night shall keep the postman from his appointed rounds (The upper right hand of the photo is all the glimpse I am able to share here). But it was truly a spiritual moment to see this magnificent mammal in the wild. Well, we're gonna watch some movies now. Lots of love from RJ (The Elder), Karena (The Scholar), Anna (The Smart One), and Daniel
(The Faithful) Lord Bless and keep you warm! (Oh yeah, He already is! I hear it's gonna be a whopping 50+ in Reno-land for Super Sunday) Shouldn't Easter really be SUPER SUNDAY?<><
