We are really excited about Leap Day around here. Invitations have been mailed out or electronically sent to local homeschoolers, generating some buzz.
No one has asked yet (we've had such a mild winter!), but in case of inclement weather that forces the Severna Park Community Center to close, we will have to reschedule. That information would be posted here. Since Leap Day's indoors, as long as the gym is open, we will be there.
Behind the scenes these days we are working on mapping out all the activities and where in the gym they will be, to facilitate set-up and participation. As you enter the gym, look for the welcome table to pick up your packet of information, sign in, pay ($5 per family to help defray expenses), and learn about door prizes.
Can't wait to see you there.

Welcome, 2012
The New Year is here! Welcome, 2012. The beginning of the year, with its "New Year's resolutions," remains the most popular time of the year to join a gym, begin a weight-loss program, etc. Everyone likes a fresh start, and perhaps the holidays boasted a menu that was a trifle on the rich side.
While I think turning over a new leaf is a great idea, I hope everyone will see Leap Day in the context of beginning (or continuing) a family habit. Make a lifestyle course adjustment, if you like, rather than an all-out "do-or-die" thing. I've been so grateful for the gentle voice of our 5-year-old, who cheerfully works out with her kids' video (PraiseMoves for Children) for PE. She's such an encouragement to me. "Mom, are you going to come exercise with me?"
