Over it...

The snow that is. We have 30+ inches and we are all feeling like spring can't come soon enough! Friday into Saturday we got about 2 feet and lost our power at around 11 PM. We made it through the night with no heat, I got up every hour to check on the kiddos who never stirred, but by morning it was about 55 degrees in the house. Thankfully we have a wood burning stove in our basement that kept us toasty the following day. Saturday evening we packed up and went to my parent's house so we didn't have to try and keep the fire going all night. The power came on that night and we've been ok ever since!

The first foot. Joe gets the driveway clear the first time.


The morning after... Joe and the neighbors working on finding our cul-de-sac. Driveway clearing #2.

Will showing me his snowball.

Will and Mr. Kevin working hard! Yes, our cul-de-sac turned into a block party that afternoon... there was even beer. We have the best neighbors :-)

Will and Anthony building forts.

Silly kid.

So this week we got about 10 more inches of snow... driveway clearings #3, 4, and 5. Poor Joe.
Our poor little buried house.

Ella eating some!

Anthony and Maria came over today for a play date. They haven't had school all week and are going a bit stir crazy. We made play dough and Will and Ella loved the company!

Random fun...

So I got an email yesterday from Tim Malyszko that I think was a sneaky way of commenting that I hadn't updated the blog in a while ;-) So here are some new random pics of the munchkins from the last month or so.

Ella is loving eating table foods with her fingers. Here she is celebrating her sweet potatoes and lima beans.

Warning baby nakedness follows!!
Hanging out, post-bath in their Elmo towels, Christmas gifts from Grandmom and Grandpop.

Here are a few pictures of Ella's pretty curls.



Some love from Will. Will spends the majority of his days pushing Ella down, taking her toys, and then kissing her saying, "Will make Ella feel better." Ugh...

Ella and her bunny lovey.


Will and his "baketball ball" and "back-a-hoop" from Santa. I think I'll be really sad when he pronounces everything perfectly. The little mistakes are SO CUTE!


Happy now, Tim?? :-)
