Hannah's new hobby...

is taking Mom's camera and taking photos of her daughter Katherine. Here are some of her favorite.

Way to go Hannah!

Thought you would like to see our backyard at ground level...

This is the tree you can see and touch on our second story deck. See the deck?

Towards my bridge and large bird feeder, honestly!

See the deck, see the snow, they almost touch, this crazy snow!

YES, more snow!!!!!

A view off our side deck!

A neighbors tree, isn't it pretty?

More neighbors tree's!

Under all this snow is my bridge, really a bridge is there. Also one of those a a large brid feeder, that is how high the snow is.

The far corner of our yard DAD. This is the yard next to Monica's house. Crazy isn't it? Worse snow in 15 years according to neighbors. Hoping our roof holds up.

Is this child labor?

We had to clean the deck, again! On a sad note the roof of our Jo*Anns collasped as well as the roof of Bookmans next door. All that fabric and all those wonderful crafts...how sad:(

Day 3 blanket update!

We have the fabric and you would think with all this snow we would have time to get them done. But sadly no! We have been digging out driveways for doctor appts., doing homeschool (today we are not, we are taking a snowday) and now we are doing house safety. Watching Ice dams, clearing both decks, waiting for daddy so we can dig out the driveway when he gets home from work and well, just enjoying life and each other and the snow. The snow is the reason we moved here.

We are still here...

we are just wet and cold! We had to clear off the second story deck before it collasped under the weight of all the snow. Good thing we did, it is now falling harder and faster. Hey Dad, do you want to come and visit? hehehe!

We just wanted to say...

we love you all! We say this just in case the weather people are correct and we do get the 4 feet of snow they are saying is heading our way. California has been hit hard by these storms and SarahBeth hasn't seen her school since last week, I don't think she is missing it much. So, just in case this is the end of the world, at least as we knew it, maybe Heaven's Gate Cult was right and the Earth needs to recycle itself, we say thanks for the memories, the laughs and the love.

SarahBeth wants to leave a "Happier Note" she says "Live long and prosper"!

"Oh SarahBeth, are you becoming a trekkie?"

"Sweet dear mother, NO (she says as she rolls her eyes)!"

"Ok, sweet love of mine, apple of my eye!" Mom says as she nearly chokes to death on her laughter.

"You just love me way to much. Can't you neglect me like other parents do their teens." She yells as she stomps downstairs to her room.

Yes, downstairs! We keep her in the basement.
