The Sickies and Such

Since I'm feeling under the weather today and Ethan has some crustiness forming underneath his nose, both of us decided to forgo church this morning and quarantine ourselves in our home. Ben is starting to develop what seems to be what I have, but hopefully it'll come and go before we head out on Wednesday.

We're really living in a winter wonderland here. We've had some crazy storms recently, resulting in over a foot of snow making driving to work on Friday night pretty ridiculous. I couldn't believe that people were actually out and about shopping while the roads looked like ski resort parking lots. Lots of compact snow and no indication as to where the lanes were. Luckily the snow let up a little yesterday so that driving to work wasn't so treacherous. Ben ran some errands with Ethan and got him his first Christmas present that we didn't really wait for him to open since we won't be wrapping it to bring to Utah. Here he is enjoying it:

Last night we were able to enjoy a night out thanks to a babysitter so that we could go to my work party. When we got home around 9 pm I went right to bed and didn't wake up until 7 am. Ahh, nothing like having 8 hours of sleep. Unfortunately we have tons of snow on our driveway and it's not going to clear itself, which means there's no rest for the weary.

Our house on Friday night

Our backyard storm door today... yep the snow is well above it

Oh yeah, Ethan turned 7 months on Friday... he's a ham for the camera
