If only...

If only our new fireplace had been put in BEFORE the big ice storm. It sure would have been a nice source of heat when we had no power for two days. Oh well, I have a feeling it will get plenty of use in the future.

Survivors

We survived Thursday night's ice storm. Unfortunately, we did have a few causalities like...

this crab apple tree,

the station wagon,
and Toby's pen.

Luckily, neither of the houses was hit by any falling limbs, but we are still out of power!

Belated Winter Ball pics

I chaperoned our school's Winter Ball a few weeks ago with my friend Mandi. Boy, did we have fun!!

Windows

Another roof picture

Home, Sweet, Home!

Finally, the snow melted enough for the roofers to finish!

P.S. As you can see, it is enclosed now. If you come over for a look you won't have to freeze anymore- although we appreciate all of you who have taken the cold walk over just to indulge us!
