Snow Day Saturday

Yup, after about a 6-month hiatus from this blog, it's time to reopen the thoughts and let the words flow. It snowed about 20 inches this weekend and we fully enjoyed the time "trapped" at home. Jenny had hit the grocery store on Friday with all of the other crazy Apocalyptic shoppers so we were well prepared for a couple weeks of snowed in survival.

Aside for the normal shoveling and uncovering of our vehicles, we were able to venture out pretty well on Sunday. The roads in Northern VA aren't all they're cracked up to be and that combined with the talented drivers, we didn't wander too far from the homestead. We got to see one of Jenny's old college friends who was visiting the DC area in Old Town Alexandria and got to catch up on all the crazy stories of Jenny's wild youth, haha. We took Andi out in the snow and she was burrito wrapped in this Everest Survival Suit that's a nice shade of blue...obviously procured prior to Andi's arrival. (see pictures) Perhaps most impressive is that its got a nice fuzzy hoodie to it do Andrea actually looks like she was hair sticking out. It keeps her warm and aside from the obstacle challenge of ingress and egress, she's a fan of the coat.

Monday was a snow day for the ol' Federal Gov't so we got to sleep in a little and venture out more today. Andi was Baby Bjorn'n it throughout the day and we even took her sledding as we avoiding the traffic. Folks were going absolutely bonkers today with the ice/slush roads and not wanting to chill out and wait for the 1/2 plowed lane to open up. We were glad to watch from the sidelines. I'm back to work tomorrow as usual but it's a short week before Santa's visit.

Short blogo update but more than we've done in quite a while. Looking forward to posting more and hope you enjoy the pictures!!
