If the 4 or so inches of snow we got yesterday morning wasn’t enough, at around 6PM last night, we got a snow thunderstorm complete with lightening.
This is the snowman the kids made when they got up yesterday morning.
This is the snowman Patrick made at dusk last night in the middle of some of the [...]

Yesterday we got our first real* snow.
*As in schools were closed, shovel and scrapers were used, and we drove somewhere to go sledding.
It turns out that the older two may have snowboarding in their future. I was pretty impressed at their ability to snowboard down a decent hill on a 15-year-old, blue, plastic, toboggan.

Seeing as the kids are out playing in our first mentionable snow right now, it’s a great time to tell you about the mittens & gloves that keep all those fingers and wrists toasty without lots of “Mom! There’s snow inside my glove!”
Introducing L-Bow. It’s pretty genius in the why-didn’t-I-think-of-that category. They are waterproof mittens [...]

We were, in fact, one of the places that received that “once-every-hundred-years snow.” You can read about it here, here, here, and here. We are finally in our meltdown and back into the “swing of things.” With 39 inches of snow on our roof, we had some spectacular icicles. Hopefully, this post marks the end of [...]

More snow pictures. I know…shocking! Actually the first two are videos of us sledding on Tuesday. The hill we ended on was so packed down from hundred of people desperate to get out that you really didn’t even need a sled. Just snow pants were enough.
This is Mia sliding down the hill on her back.
This [...]

Out front before it started snowing for the 3rd time in 2 weeks.
Out back affter it snowed all night, overnight, at a rate of 2 to 3 inches per hour.

23 inches (so far).
They say it should stop by midnight. Fabulous.
This is Mia realizing she can’t walk without losing her snow boot.
I have a feeling we’ll be doing a lot of this.

We’ve had a pretty…mmm…shall we say interesting week. On top of starting a business, having car problems, crashing car with problem on a patch of black ice, and having sick kids, there was a tragic death in our church community that is taking its toll emotionally on us. Let’s just suffice to say that Wednesday [...]
