Ice Ice Baby

Yes, I know this phrase has probably been misused over the past week, but it works so well! We had almost 3 inches of ice hit the ground on Tuesday and were frozen in the house. It seems as if the whole community shut down Tuesday and Wednesday. The schools have been out for 4 days. Removing the ice has been a battle, one which I chose not to fight. Matt was in Chicago this week and got to experience the blizzard. The picture of the snow is from his office. There is a car in there! I think he got around Chicago in 20 inches of snow better than I did here in 3 inches of ice. Emma, Nora and I spent the days being lazy, doing craft projects and playing. The dogs did give us some drama. Sheldon slipped on the deck and hurt one of his paws. There was blood everywhere. He is going to the vet tomorrow. Lamont slid through the Invisible Fence and took off in the neighborhood. I thought he was never coming back. Thanks to the quick thinking of our neighbors and some boys from my school, we got him home. I love this picture of Lamont and Emma watching the plows on our street.

Everyone is back home now and resting. Emma is looking forward to Valentine's Day. She asks every day if it is the day. Miss Nora is sitting up on her own and trying to move. I think we are going to have our hands full! She goes for her 6 month check up this week. I can't believe it.

Where does the time go?

Let's hope this week is uneventful and peaceful. A beach is sounding really great right now!
