New Year






So, after some gentle pushing, it is time to update the blog. Its a new year and so far its been a bit of a mixed bag. The holidays were a great time and thanks to all who came to Mica's b-day party and sent presents. We've all headed back to school, although I've mostly been doing research this month since my spring classes don't start until next tuesday. I've finally chosen a research project: An Investigation into the Feasibility of Using Cork Composite in Wind Turbine Blades. Yes, it's a bit random, but I think it will be interesting. My professor has funding from the Govn't of Portugal, where apparently 53% of the worlds cork is grown.
The financial crisis you all have been hearing about, and many have started to personally feel, has hit home here, so some changes are in the works. We'll let you know when they're finalized. Otherwise Mica is awesome and working hard on her sentences. We attempted some potty training over break but didn't get too far. Try again later.
The photos are compliments of Michelle Reed, thanks! They were taken during a wonderful weekend away in Sunday River Maine.

Love to all.
