2nd Haircut

I took Sean to get his 2nd haircut and he did so well. Then he was so patient (almost bored) while I had my haircut.

Walking

It has been great to be snowed in this week. (The fact that we have power doesn't hurt.) We've been able to spend a lot of time together and play a lot! :)


(The video was taken on my phone, not very good quality.)

Windy

My neighbor was out shoveling his sidewalk in this. He would shovel his snow into the air and the wind would carry it away.

Grocery Store

I went to the grocery store late last night and this is what I found...Between the 30 inches of snow we just got and the 12 inches we are going to get tonight the stores can't keep up.

Let it SNOW!!!

We had at least 2 feet of snow this weekend!!

The view from our back porch.

Shoveling was kind of fun. (And we got to socialize with the neighbors.)

He seemed to enjoy the snow.



We didn't drive with him like this. We put him in the warm car while we were scraping it off.


We were lucky that we didn't lose power. It has been a fun weekend!

Like His Daddy?

I wonder...

Helping

We got a trundle bed from my aunt and uncle on Saturday. Sean was such a good helper as we were putting it together, as the video shows.
