Forty-three people

That's all. Forty-three other people in almost 250 years of history have done what is about to happen today.

That's a tight fraternity. It's less than the composition of a football team. It's less than twice the size of a baseball roster. Hell, I've had college classes of that size.

Forty-four other nondescript people put in a room who may have each had their own life stories. Not to be diminished, they're all certainly unique in their own right and probably have stories to tell.

But not like one through forty-three. From George Washington to George W. Bush and everybody in between, stop and take that in. The picture of the presidents taken in the Oval Office a couple of weeks ago says it all; what a collection of leaders.

For good or for bad, and there's been a whole lot of bad the last eight years, the smooth transition of power continues.

And let's all cross our fingers that when we find out what the last hours of 43's administration included there are no unfortunate surprises.

Happy Birthday, Grandma Rosie!

Last night we all went over to Mom & Dad Cases house for Grandma Rosie's 91st birthday.  It was a great time, Makenna reaffirmed her love of cake and we've got some great pictures in the slideshow below.

The originals can be found here.

A slideshow in the snow

It's not quite "Walking in a Winter Wonderland," or maybe it is...but the kids got together and while I'm not sure whether or not more time was spent getting them ready to go outside than they actually spent outside, I know that they had an incredible amount of fun.

Playing in the snow!

The Thiedes are visiting from Grand Rapids and while the ladies are off doing their thing (scrapping, what else?), the boys are hanging at home and watching the kids. The snow, which appears to be unceasing, made for some fun times this morning.
