Fire Drill!

It's been a while since my last post. We've moved and are slowly trying to figure out all the problems with our apartment and get them fixed. We've ordered Internet but it takes between 10 days and 3 weeks to get (can you believe it?) so it's harder to write on here but I know there are eager readers (i.e. Mom 1 and Mom 2) so here is a small post for you!

We went to Annecy for my birthday weekend from the morning of the 9th to the afternoon of the 11th. It was a really nice weekend in a really nice city. We have lots of pictures from there but they're on my computer at home (with no Internet) so once we get that set up we can put some of them on.

For my birthday Sandi got me new bike shorts and we've had two chances this week to try them out. We went biking after work on both Tuesday and Thursday (yesterday) -- both of which were sunny and above 20 degrees! Today is 24 and really nice out. In fact, we just had a fire alarm/drill for the sole purpose of forcing everyone to go experience the nice weather (note that the weather was not necessarily the reason for the fire drill happening this afternoon [could also have been that it's Friday afternoon] but I like to think maybe that's behind it). While waiting outside I took this picture of the chateau at Xerox:

I should have maybe taken a picture where all the people were congregated (just to my left) but here you get to see the chateau and it's pretty nice looking in the sunshine!

Tonight we'll go swimming (not outdoors yet) and tomorrow is still supposed to be sunny and above 20 so we'll go for a bike ride in the afternoon and to the market in the morning. Sunday should be a little less warm so we'll do our run then (now that my ankle seems to be improving... hopefully.....)

Happy St Patricks Day weekend!!!
