Snowmaggedon!!!!

This is what they are calling the blizzard that hit the East Coast this weekend. In case you haven't heard, we have gotten a little bit of snow out here in Maryland. I think the last time we checked we measured around 26 inches in our backyard. Lets just say we are all going a little bit stir crazy! More snow is expected for later in the week so we are planning on breaking out of the house for a few hours today just for a change of scene. Andy was able to get the car out to go to work this morning. This is when the 4-wheel drive seriously comes in handy. Andy also did an incredible job keeping us shoveled out as the snow continued to fall. He is our hero! I think I will attempt to sneak out tonight and have a glass of wine with some friends. Must regain my strength for the next storm!

In anticipation of the storm we needed to get some groceries. Zach was sick and Andy and I both had a very busy week so we decided to give Giant's online grocery delivery service a try. It was great! I picked out everything online. Told them what time I wanted them to be delivered and waited. The next morning, as the kids played inside our toasty warm home, the door bell rang and all of our groceries appeared in our hallway. Amazing! That great part with this new system is that Zach still gets to do his favorite job which is putting the groceries away. He definitely has his mama's love for straightening and organizing!


Here is Zach, half-way through the storm. Already up to his waist in snow.
Underneath all of those clothes we heard his little voice saying, "Someone help me, I can't move!"

Beautiful snow in our backyard.

This is the church across the street from our house. Our church was canceled on sunday morning so we walked across the street to this church and had a nice little service with the other 6 people that were also able to make it.

Trying out the new trail that daddy shoveled.

We also had lots of fun together being cozy and warm inside. We made forts out of cardboard boxes, made soft pretzels from scratch, read lots of books, watched a few movies, and took lots of naps. I even managed to get a little bit of studying done!
