January Snow!

It's so cold here! The high the other day was 4 degrees. Wow. That was a shock for me. Plus, it's been snowing all week. Last night it was coming down like crazy. I would say we have at least 4 inches outside, if not more. Lucky for Jonathan, I usually can take him and pick him up from school. The city does a pretty good job of keeping the roads and sidewalks clear and salted. 

Here's the entrance to our garage, see how deep the tracks are!!??

This is our parking lot right outside our living room window. I don't know how you can live in this city and park outside. Especially overnight. We watch people defrost and scrape their cars for 10 minutes everyday. It's crazy! It's actually warmed up quite a bit this weekend. It's 30 instead of 4. Yay! Just thought I would update everyone on the weather! I'll put more snow picks in the photo album.

Holiday Visit 2009

Well belated Happy Holidays to everyone. It's been a while since we posted. We just got back from another great visit to Austin. Enjoyed seeing everyone and making up for being away from home on Christmas. We saw lots of good friends. Somehow I only managed to get pictures of a couple people! Most are probably happy about that.


We also spent time with our families, including the rapidly growing baby! He is beautiful and getting bigger by the second. 

It was so nice to be home. It gave us renewed energy for this coming YEAR of non-stop work and school. Unfortunately, this trip was probably Jonathan's last until we move home next December. I am hoping to fit in one trip sometime around spring/summer time. It all depends on the visitors we may have and when they decide to come up. 

Happy New Year to everyone, and we hope it is filled with all things happy and peaceful. Love to you all.
