SNOW SNOW SNOW

Hello to all! It has been a while since my last post. We haven't had internet at the house in a week, hence no posts. I ventured out for a bit to catch up on emails and such.

We have been busy this past week. A huge storm, well set of storms, rolled into town last Monday and I think is just now on it's way out. We have had a total 45.7 inches of snow since Monday. Thursday was the 12th snowiest day in Flagstaff history. We went out around town today and saw 3 buildings that had collapsed roofs (well 3 businesses in one building). The stores were my beloved JoAnn's Fabrics and a bookstore. I have pictures of the building, but will have to post it later. I believe 2 other businesses were also reported to have collapsed roofs due to the snow.

We are all safe and warm in our house. We(and by we I mean Andrew) have been busy shoveling the walk to our house and making sure our cars weren't buried in. I think on Friday it took Andrew 2 hours to shovel the walk and the cars. And then had to do it all over again today. The good part is, if you keep up with it, it really is worth it. Can you imagine trying to dig out of 3 feet of snow at one time! YUCK!

We stocked up on groceries, movies and projects in preparation for the storm, but we have still been a bit stir crazy. My house is clean, the laundry done, I made a dress for Emmy and am working on another one, watched movies, played games so it has been a productive few days.

Well, I am going to get on home. Little Emmy has a fever today. She still acts the same just is extra snuggly. I hate when she doesn't feel well, but will soak up the cuddles for whatever reason.

Hasnt this winter been crazy?? We've had record snow fall as well this year! Like rediculous snow! And then today we had rainstorms and have had tons of fog....just bizzare! Looking forward to more pics. Sorry Emmy is sick....it feels just horrible when your baby doesnt feel well =(. But that's nice she becomes more cuddly. Love ya.....hugs!

Craziness! That's quite a bit of snow. I'm not sure which I'd rather have, but these weeks of glummy weather are getting old. Glad to hear you all are staying warm. Hope Emmy feels better. Jonathon has great sympathy... he caught his first cold. Stay warm!
