Snowpocalypse - Snowcation - Snowmageddon....whatever you call it, we're stuck right in the middle of it! We are finishing up our first snow day at home and looking forward to Day 2 tomorrow. My school system chose an early release over a full cancellation, which brought on a hectic dismissal but I'm proud to say that we got every student home safely with the help of all of our wonderful staff. It was really wonderful to see everyone pulling together to make certain that all the students were accounted for and paired up with an adult, assigned to a bus, or placed in the ASP program. After a white-knuckle trip home, we bundled up to play in the deepest snowfall that Emily has ever seen! We've spent our first full snow day sledding in the backyard, reading by the fire, and playing Monopoly - well, Catopoly, to be precise - and are looking forward to a repeat, mixed with some bread baking, tomorrow. I'm so thankful to be safe in our warm house and terribly concerned about the people who are still stranded far from home. We have far too many friends who became trapped on the highways and ultimately needed to take shelter in businesses or hotels. It has been wonderful to monitor all the social media sites and see the outpouring of support for stranded motorists- solidifies my faith in humanity! Stay warm!

| Loving my sled from the junk man! I purchased it over ten years ago intending to use it as a Christmas decoration. It has sat in the basement ever since but we are wearing it out today! |
