The Big Storm

After a very quiet winter, we finally had our big storm the first week of March.  Abby was excited for one more chance to go sledding, and two days off of school.  Here she is measuring how deep it got (she is her father's child):

Benji had zero interest in sledding (he hates the cold, just like mom!) or even going outside, so Kevin took Abby down to Greenbrier for sledding and general snow fun (a snowball fight with some other students apparantly ensued):

Benji enjoyed the view from inside the (at that point) warm house:

We lost our power during the night on Tuesday and it did not come back until dinnertime Thursday, but the time passed quickly.  Our friend Allan was visiting from CA and our mutual friends the Rothmans came over as well.  Here are Elliot and Benji enjoying a show on the (battery powered) ipad:

It got pretty cold by the end of the day Thursday, but I think it is now officially spring!
