Winter Wallop 2008

I'd like to give props to Bill for dubbing the storm "Winter Wallop 2008" before the newscast picked it up. Genius.

Collin is loving the snow and is constantly saying "ohhh" and "Whoa" as we drive around in the trusty old Dakota. Bill made a great snow angel, but Collin wasn't down with it.

Sea-Tac is not handling the snow well and I am starting to get nervous that we will be unable to get out on Christmas Eve. There is no reason to fret now, but this snow is giving me some serious doubts. The neighbors driving around on their snowmobiles in the middle of the street doesn't provide me confidence either.

Once again my work is closed and it is WFH, although I will pick Collin up at noon. So I better get back to the grind--PPT anyone?

Snow Day!

My work closed this morning and my boss called me before I hit the road. Auburn only accumulated a few inches, but Seattle proper was hit hard. Luckily for us, Bill wrapped the pipes last weekend and covered some of the vent holes under the house so we should not have any freezing pipes.

Collin was pulling his ear this morning and say “hurt” so I am going to get him to the doctor today. I’m just waiting for this conference call to finish up! Technology is great, but it means even a snow day doesn’t get you out of meetings, Dang!

Pants

Saturday marked Collin's first day of putting on his own pants. I'm excited--one less chore for me! To top it off we had a pleasant lunch at Red Robin. Not exactly the most romantic location, but one gives you the evil eye when a child squeals.
On a different note, Advent is going well. Collin screamed all through the prayer this evening, but did enjoy trying to blow the candles out.
