I Like Uncle Tom

Another lost picture.

Baking Cookies with Christine

Still more misplaced Christmas photos. Here is Christine baking cookies with Abby. They were so cute together!





I'll post the last of these "lost" photos tomorrow.

40 Days and Nights of Rain

A few more flood pictures. I snapped some of these with my camera to show the insurance agents, who promptly denied our claim anyway.

Kevin's diploma, which was being stored downstairs while he is not working:



A better shot of our futon soaking up water:



Our now-defunct printer hemorrhaging ink onto the carpet:



The recovery company is coming to shampoo this week, so now we just face a few days of putting stuff away (well, let's be honest, it'll probably take us a month or two)

Snow, again

Seems like it may never stop snowing here. We had 9 more inches over the weekend, and we are expecting another big storm next weekend. At least we were home for this storm and Abby got to try out her new sled. Here she is tromping around outside while the snow was still coming down:



She tried for a snow angel, but it was almost completely filled in by Sunday morning:

Snowpocalypse

The huge debilitating snowstorm we had this weekend was somewhat reminiscent of the huge debilitating snowstorm we had a month ago, which reminded me that I forgot to post our pictures from that storm. I had a mislabeled folder on the computer, and, voila!, a treasure trove of 50+ lost pictures from December. I'll post more of them tomorrow, but here are some pictures of the historic snowpocalypse.

Heading out to play in the blizzard:



The girls take in the massive piles of snow:






Benji is not so sure about this:






Ok, he is sure. Sure he doesn't like it:



Abby sleds down a snow drift:



I am pretty sure Kevin was more excited about the snow then any of the children:

Chilling Out Together

Abby had a snow day yesterday (snow pictures tomorrow!). After lunch and a bath, Kevin stumbled on the kids having a little quiet time together in Benji's room. Awww....

Abby's Snowtime Blues

To kill some time on Saturday, we decided to make a video. In case you couldn't guess, Abby wrote the lyrics to this song herself. I guess we should cross "world-famous singer" off of our list of potential careers.
