When all was said and done, our little corner of the world received one foot of snow in a 24 hour period. That's more than we've ever had in that amount of time!

Our neighborhood woke up to a beautiful mess yesterday morning. There were big 'ol tree branches everywhere.

Daddy had to take a saw to this guy. He spent quite a bit of time chopping him up so that he could get him out of the street.
He also discovered that his New Balance tennis shoes are not water proof.

Once Daddy made the street clear for motorists, he grabbed a shovel and headed back to our driveway (after changing into his waterproof Columbias, of course). He shoveled and shoveled so that we could make it to our lunch date at La Calle Doce with our friend, Charity.

Charity teaches English in China, but she was able to come home for a nice two week break. She is one of the sweetest people I have met ever, ever, ever in my long legged life.

She even let me cuddle on her shoulder when nap time was approaching!
