snow aftermath

These pictures were taken more than a week ago.
Several sunny days have melted much of it, but we still have more than a foot of it around our home!

Evyn went out to find our vegetable garden.
There is a fence around it, just in front of where she is standing (you can see a tiny bit of it in the center of the picture).



Then she settled into a lawn chair to watch her Daddy make paths to the shed and the basement door with the snowblower:





Andrew is not a fan of snow. Which is fine by me - one less little person to wriggle in and out of soggy boots and snowsuits. He did enjoy watching Scott & Evyn from the comfort of his high chair:

the second BIG snow

Last week we were hit with the second big snowstorm.






I took this picture from inside our garage door, Evyn was outside clearing the snow from around the door frame:





Check out the birdbath, the snow covered the whole base, up to the bowl:



The girl next door managed to make it over to our yard - remarkably, without snowshoes:



We had a foot + of snow on our COVERED patio:


Our back yard.... click on the picture below to enlarge:

Superbowl, Valentines and a party

We dug out after the snow (the first of two 2-foot snowstorms) and went to the C's for the Superbowl (have I told you how much I love our Totseat?):




Andrew might look little- in fact, he's still weighing 19# and has been for months- but he has an impressive appetite! He managed to find an avocado, and was sucking the good stuff out from a hole he bit in the bottom.
WOW, was he mad when I took it away from him!



Watching Daddy and Evyn play in the snow:




Evyn made Valentines for the kids in her kindergarten class:



The class had a 100-day party, to celebrate their hundredth day of school.
The kids had been eagerly counting down for weeks!
Evyn came home with a really cute "100" hat she made in school.
