Spring?? Winter?? Make up your mind, Mother Nature!

We've had some crazy weather here lately --- which of course reminds us of typical weather this time of year in Iowa.  HA!!  We'll have a 'teaser' day with warm air and sunshine, and it feels like spring is on the way.  And then BAM, we'll have snow overnight, cold temperatures, and howling wind blowing the snow around for a couple more days.  But it doesn't bother us as much here, where we don't have to shovel it or scrape it off cars.   :-)   At least it has been windy only very seldom this winter, so we can't complain.  

I took this on the I-touch so the photo isn't as clear - sorry.  This is us attending Chris and Erin's wedding in Ankeny via Skype on Saturday!!  All dressed up, and wearing the only green we owned, in honor of the 'Green' wedding, almost on St. Patrick's Day!     :-)  

Katarina and Michael dropped off some marlenka on Sunday night, so we could share in the deliciousness!!  We had to hurry back to our flat in time for the wedding Saturday, so we left before the layers were assembled with the filling.
Trust me on this one ---- it tastes AMAZING!!!     :-)

Monday we went to church choir and then to volleyball, and both went well, though it was COLD walking in the wintry breeze.  Tuesday we had Slovak lessons and then taught English lessons - cold again.  And today we went on some errands downtown in the bright sunshine, with beautiful mountain views and wearing light jackets because it was so warm!

Tuesday during a common plan time at school, we were interviewed by a reporter from the local newspaper.  It was interesting doing it all with a translator, but Pat'ka did a terrific job.  We're supposed to email some photos of us with the students at school.  We're curious if it will really get in the paper, so we'll see.    :-)
