Welcome to Our Home!




So, we got some snow today here in Maine. I think we got about a foot, but it was a really light, powdery snow, so it was blowing around a bit. Rick is at work today, so I knew it would be a big snowfall. For whatever reason, the big snows ALWAYS come on Rick's workdays. I can't tell you how many snow days I've spent home alone, or how many times I've snow-blowed the driveway myself (well, not since Cate was born!) :)

We did have a good day, and I took both Cate and Zoe out in the snow, with Cate in the sled. Ok, so I tried hooking Zoe up to the sled to make her pull it. It was pretty funny. I wish I had a picture, but I didn't dare let go of Zoe to snap a shot, or Cate would have been rolling down the road. Anyways, the below picture is the "before" shot of the above picture. Usually, since we live on a quiet street, it's not bad being this close to the street. This is really the only time it's bad- as you can probably tell. I did just come in from outside. I love to be the first to tromp around in un-shoveled snow, and I figured I'd shovel off the deck, steps, front walk, and driveway entry (whew, that was a tough one). That should at least make it a little easier for Rick to snow blow in the morning when he gets home.



This is the end of our driveway after I tried to shovel it out. Do you see the fence and the parking sign??? This pile is close to five feet high.



The picnic table.



Cate and Zoe warming up inside after sledding. Notice Cate's new slippers!!! :)

Guess we definitely need to bring shovels, snowblowers, and strong backs when we move to Maine. We'll add those items right underneath generators:)
Love Cate's slippers.

The pic of Cate and Zoe is so cute. Her slippers crack me up!
