Missing Teeth

Nora's been without tooth for about a year...Evan not so long. The funny thing is that the first tooth they are both missing is the same one! Love the toothless smiles!!!

Nora Firsts

Wow...we've had many trips home with Nora the snow bunny. However, this one was much different than the rest. Nora had these firsts during this trip...sliding down the "big" hill by herself, ice skating, snowmobiling, snow 4-wheeler rides...all of this thanks to her bestie Kelsey and second or third or something once removed cousin Jason! You have to check out my facebook for videos of many of these events...the flip is much easier to carry than my Canon. :-) Love you and thanks for the memories!!!!

The Back Yard

Okay...I mentioned that we didn't even touch the snow in our backyard...here is a better look at what I was talking about!!

Snowman

Nora and Daddy starting the snowman.

Our work of art...or kind of...

And believe it or not, more than 3/4 of the yard was left untouched. Crazy!!

PS...

I'm sure I just jinxed the plan to travel Sunday. Sorry Mother Nature. We do love you!!!

Winter Wonderland...in Dallas???

Yesterday Dallas had record snowfall. Some areas got as much as 12+ inches. We didn't get that much; however, I did feel like I was driving around in Croghan much of today (which is where I should be if it wasn't for all this crazy weather). Mother Nature hasn't been cooperating with our planned trip to NY. Bitch.

Our back yard. Notice the snow on the power lines...our neighborhood power flickered all night long...least we didn't loose power like much of the Dallas vicinity!

View from our front porch! All that slush reminds me of NY!!!

Does snot taste good?

Apparently so if you're Nora. I'm so going to pay for this one day!!!! It does, however, remind me of one of my favorite Nora quotes...

One day Nora sneezed so I asked if she needed a tissue. Nora replies, "no Mommy, I wipe it with my tongue."
