More Snow!


When it first started snowing, just 2-3 inches on this table on our patio.



After snowing off and on all week long, we measured the table this morning and it was 13 inches deep!


We got freezing rain early Sunday morning, and they cancelled Church for the second week in a row. There was a layer of ice about a 1/4 inch thick that would crack and shatter under foot when you walked on it.



Icicles above our neighbors door.



Jared is growing up so fast! He started walking on Saturday after much coaxing from his parents for months he just steps away from the couch and takes four steps away from the couch before sitting down. He started getting the hang of it now and can just stand there keeping his balance with no problem now. He can also walk across our whole house from sliding glass door to sliding glass door!

As for the snow, it has been going off and on almost constantly since last week Sunday. The freezing rain this past Sunday kept us home all day. Then we woke up Monday morning to really heavy snow and about another 6 inches or so of new snow. That's when we measured the little table on the back patio and there was 13 inches of snow on it. They cancelled Ronald's work so he stayed home with us. We tubed down this little hill in our neighborhood, Ronald took Jared on a run too! He didn't enjoy it as much as watching us from the truck. Later in the afternoon Ronald went to an impromptu service project at the Portland temple for a couple of hours to shovel the walks.

We are enjoying all the snow, it really makes it feel like Christmas.

We have some icicles too! Though now since it warmed up just enough to melt a bit, it's more like an ice sheet outside of our second bedroom. I keep meaning to take a picture of it, but never do. Oh, Laura, I will get on the thing that you asked me to do!
