the blizzard of 2009

We got dumped with snow over the past two days. As of the 5 o'clock news we picked up 15.5 inches in town here and 17 inches at the airport where Chuck will have to shovel out when he gets home tomorrow night. I called someone to plow the driveway and he left without getting paid. Nice guy or just a long day? I'll have to follow up. Anyway the tempuratures are dropping fast. We'll have wind chills of -20 to -25 tonight. I'm very thankful that I have a nice warm house.

Rachel played Legos...

and watched Christmas videos...

and played with her baby dolls.

Julia nursed, sucked her thumb and napped the day away.
