Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!

Well, we are going on day 8 of the great Seattle Snow-Out. Days 1-3 were fun... We've missed Church for the 2nd week in a row. The kids had 2 hour delays on Monday and Tuesday and school was canceled for the rest of the week. We've got at least 8 inches on the ground. This is incredible. If I wanted weather like this, I'd have moved to Cleveland (sorry, Mike and Diana. Enjoy the sun now.) The only problem is that this is so rare here, that they aren't very adept at handling it, so the roads are treacherous. As you can see below, the road leading to our house is at least 200 feet tall. Not gonna happen. (Luckily there is a back route.) Alex has been home from work for 2 days. Luckily, my Christmas shopping is all done and we can hunker down for the spell. It looks like more snow the rest of the week. Enjoy the pictures of our adventures in the snow:


the trampoline, the swingset, and Alex sledding.

a makeshift baby sled and the baby enjoying it, Dylan enjoying his early Christmas present from Megan.

Megan pulling Lily in her "sled", We even got Hunter out to enjoy it. Note the glove on his cast.

Have you ever seen this much snow on a palm tree????

Alex shoveling the walk. Megan set up our lights in the snow. Thanks Meg.

I was looking forward to seeing you all soon. But, the snow .... I don't see a visit until the snow is gone. You look like you are having fun, though.

Looks like so much fun! Like the ice storm, but with power! We had a little bit of snow last winter, but none for the two winters before that, so we're all dying for some good sledding...
