I know I have been MIA for a little while so here is a quick update of our chaos:
1- We are potty trained except for a night. She is dry most mornings, I have haven't been brave enough to say good-bye to the pullups at night yet (nor do I want to tackle wet sheets in the a.m. yet)
2- The closet is done!! Yeah!! We even had space left over to clean out the guest room closet and put everything in our own closet! Now we just have to work on the carpet....
3- Maggie will tell you she didn't get any Valentine's because the trash truck ran over our mailbox. Hmm.... not quite possible without hitting the house so you decide the truth here.
4- We got in 3 day a week 3K!! A big thanks to our friend Dana who is going to help us out with transportation!!
5- So much is going on, I started with a whole list of like 10 things in my head and now I can't even remember 5!

Groundhog Day
I know... it's like a week late but I needed to share the following link. Not that I tend to be a downer but I gave up on this one a couple of freezing years ago...
Groundhog Facts You Didn't Know
1. Punxsutawney Phil has seen his shadow 97 times, has not seen it 15 times, and nine years are unaccounted for.
2. The National Climatic Data Center reportedly stated that Phil's prediction's have been correct 39 percent of the time. This number is in conflict with Phil's club, which states he's been right 100 percent of the time.
3. According to the funny website groundhog.org, there's a legend that during Prohibition, Phil threatened to impose 60 weeks of winter on the community if he wasn't allowed a drink.
4. In the years following the release of Groundhog Day, a 1993 film starring Bill Murray, crowds numbering as high as 30,000 have visited Gobbler's Knob, a tiny hill in Punxsutawney where the ceremony takes place.
5. Though groundhogs typically live only six to eight years, Groundhog Day lore suggests that Phil drinks a magic elixir every summer, which gives him seven more years of life.
