the last two weeks

we've had an interesting last 2 weeks. cami spent a morning in the emergency room for falling and cutting her eyebrow. (not a great pic, but you get the jist.)

they decided against stitches and used "dermabond" instead. basically they superglued her eyebrow back together. it is amazing what they can do these days!

this week, we've spent the last 2 days at home from school because we got over a FOOT of snow tuesday night! the girls were excited to go play. though a foot of snow is a LOT for a 2-year old and cami had a really hard time moving! needless to say, she didn't enjoy the first time out, even with my path through the grass for her. when we went out in the afternoon, she enjoyed it much more and used a sand shovel to help mommy. (adam was in washington dc for work this whole time. not the best timing for a winter storm! shovelling is definitely a man's job!) here are some pics and a video of our morning jaunt in the snow.

(cami, on our enclosed porch - rather than outside!)

(and alaina attempting a snow angel - pretty hard in a foot of snow!)

i did work on digging my car out yesterday afternoon - it took me almost an hour, and i still couldn't get my car into the street because of all the snow plowed around the car. adam ended up being rerouted through HOUSTON to get home from dc, so he got home around 11:45 last night. then spent about 15-20 minutes this morning trying to shovel the street enough that i could get my car out of my parking spot.

i'm hoping for school tomorrow - i'm not sure what i'll do with the girls for a third day stuck in the house!!! and it's super cold today - so cold that even alaina doesn't want to go outside to play in the snow! that's NEVER happened! it's just so windy.

i'm counting the days until spring. only 50 more days!!! it can't come soon enough...
