SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and some other stuff

I really wanted to write all about all of the AMAZING snow we got in a few different storms, but it is now almot May, so I don't remember all of the details I wanted to write about, and I also don't have a lot of time to spnd on this, so I'm pretty much goimg to let the pictures do the talking. 

Before we get to the snow, though, just a few pictures.  Here's Jackson coming home with his Granny Wiley to meet his new baby sister (remember that he and I had been quite sick so Sarahr, Lilly, and Mrs. Wiley were in quarentine).

Here's Jackson in "time out" for the 1st time. 

In this 2nd one he kind of looks like "Puss 'n Boots" from Shrek when he's giving the sad face with the huge eyes.

This is the kind of reception I get every night when I get home.

After he screams and runs up to me, he runs away screaming as I pretend to be a dinosaur sneaking up on him.  He runds until he falls or gets to the couch, and then just lays there until I get him.

Ok, finally, the snow.  We had had a few small (few inches) snows this winter since December, but January had been pretty quiet.  Then, on February 6th, we finally got a big Nor'Easter, which usually bring sus our biggest snows.  I gorgot how much snow we got with this one, but it was in the upper teens (in inches), with blizzard conditions for much of the time it was coming down.  Needless to say, I was in heaven.  I know I've said it a million times, but  I love the snow.  I love the way it looks, I love that weather in general, I love shoveling it, I love playing in it, walking in it,  . . . . .

This is what it looked like that monring when we got up.

Jackson is standing up in this picture.

Sarah's mom lives in South Florida and wasn't exacty prepared for the weather.  I think this was the extent of her only trip outside that day. 

I sat with Lincoln outside on my lawnchair enjoying the height of the blizzard.

We weren't very prepared either.  Jackson doesn't have any snow boots.

Around mid day when things began to slack off, I started to clean off the cars enough to move them up the hill so that the snow plaws could clear out our parking areas.  Here's my beautiful truck.

Some light reading at the end of a long hard day.
