SNOWSTORM 2014......Part II....lol!!!!

Compared to my friends and family up north our snowstorm is a drop in the bucket. Where we live we received about 10-11 inches of snow, sleet and freezing rain; with snow drifts up to a foot and a half. Growing up in Ohio we would have not missed school for the storm that occurred. However, my children were dismissed after only three hours of school Tuesday and are scheduled to return Monday. They were supposed to have Monday off for President's Day but it will be a make up day instead.

We made sure to enjoy the time we had together.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With today being Valentine's Day my kids are missing their classroom parties. I will get to be their Valentine's today. As Congenital Heart Defect Awareness week comes to a close we will also celebrate our Miracle (Madelynn). Hopefully, the kids will be excited to spend the day with me.

 

At 11:00 am Thursday we were covered in ice and snow. I was a little worried we would have a huge mess to clean up from the ice. This is what I saw.

 

 

 

 

 

By 4:00 pm all of the snow and ice had melted off the trees. We took the opportunity to shovel the walk since everything that was melting was expected to refreeze Thursday night. In between the snow finally stopping and the Big Melt beginning, the kids were able to make a snowman. I must say layers of snow, ice and more snow made it difficult to build a snowman. There was a lot of ice.

 

 

 

 

We hope everyone in our area enjoyed the snowstorm by Sunday it will only be a memory. We hope everyone has a wonderful Valentine's Day. Please remember all of the Heart Warriors and their families. Some children are in the hospital now fighting a good fight. Some are walking around today with no hint of their previous fight. Some of our warriors lost their fight and earned their wings. It is a club we never asked to join but are members nonetheless.

 

Happy Valentine's Day!!
