Boston Blizzard

For those of you that know Jon, you know how he loves to watch the weather...especially in the winter. He LOVES snow and when there is any kind of leaning toward a snow storm, he is watching the weather websites and studying the models. Needless to say, the storm that just hit us, had him very excited! We documented our adventures in the snow through pictures. I think he may have even kept a journal on the computer of how much snow had fallen through the night of the storm! He is thankful that Ava shares his love of snow. Emet, however, would rather sit inside and watch from the window!
Our anniversary was also on the Monday of the storm. It's hard to believe we have been married for seven years. I am thankful for a husband who loves the Lord, loves me and loves our children. He is a blessing! We didn't get to do much since we were burried in snow on Monday, but Tuesday we took the kids to my doctor's appointment then went out to dinner as a family. We hope to get away for a date night soon! Love you babe!

The calm before the storm...we went to Home Depot to get yard
sticks to measure the accumulation and a shovel to clear the driveway!
The snow you see in this picture was from our previous storm.
Emet's idea of enjoying a snowy day!
It's coming down!
He enjoyed looking at it from the
inside, but didn't want to go out in it!
A view from our door...normally you could see our driveway and our neighbor's
driveway. They are completely covered in snow. Thankfully though, our road
gets plowed and was already clear when we woke up on Monday morning!
Measuring...we got about 12 inches, but the backyard had big drifts!
Jon and Ava dug tunnels out and made pathways through our backyard!
She was outside with Jon for about 2 1/2 hours playing and helping
him. I think she would have stayed out all day if we had let her!
We are thankful for our neighbors who are gracious enough to let
us use their snow blower. It made clearing the driveway much easier!
