Ice Storm of '11

Ah....I remember when it reached a balmy 46 degrees on Saturday. We had Paul's cousins Maddy, her husband Seth, Adrea and her kids all here. Abby and Patrick joined us, and we headed out to the Science Center and the Zoo. Here's Benjamin, Henry, Nora, Ari and Peter. We're just missing Gloria in this picture. They had a blast playing together. 

I think Henry has a baby crush on Nora.

Nora liked checking out the penguins.

And here's today, with a thick layer of ice, topped off with about 4 inches of snow. I think the high may have gotten up to 20 degrees. It's actually much better than they had predicted, which was more like ice and then two feet of snow. 

Cold, but pretty.

Paul's been working from home these past few days, and we haven't gone out at all; the roads are still pretty bad. Luckily we still have power, health, and everything we need! Thank goodness for a warm house!

I guess my only complaint is that everyone seems to have cabin fever. Anyone else glad that January is finally over? I can almost smell Spring...
