Weds., November 24-Blizzard 2010







Well, they warned us it was coming yesterday, and we went grocery shopping in time to get back home before it hit. Unfortunately we goofed off too long in town, and the storm hit before we made it home. It was terrible--severe winds, heavy snow--it was a complete white-out and we had to crawl home in a parade of other cars with our flashers going, hoping people would be able to see us. We survived the night, but today we have the bitter cold--below zero--unusual weather this early in the season...Poor Bob looks very cold clearing off the snow! (I found out a "blizzard" is different than a heavy snow storm--involves high winds....)

Thurs, Nov. 18 - Temple


Okay, I admit this is a pretty poor picture (snappy, with no tripod, no light), but one good thing about it being dark when I leave work now, is the beauty of the temple, a block away.

Mon., Nov. 15 - Dawson's first solids!


Dawson is getting two new teeth, so was pretty miserable and couldn't nurse. Mandy decided it was a good day to try Rice Cereal. Dawson gobbled it up! (Got that phrase from Chris Purser!)

Sun., November 14 - have you ever been mellow?


Sunday--home alone--rainy day--getting over a cold--Look out the window and see a melancholy, lone tree...

Melancholy Tree--
Your Glory at your feet;
Days of bud & bloom now gone;
The future cold and sleet.
Reach your branches to the sky!
There's beauty in this form.
Melancholy tree,
Our love will keep you warm.

Sigh.

Sat., Nov. 13-Ross Racing







Ross and his dad went to the races...see Ross at the starting line and doing his fine driving!

Fri., Nov. 12 - Preschool and Court





Hudson missed all week, but Friday, of preschool because he had the flu. Here he is on Friday, ready to learn. I dropped him off and ran to the court to file papers before I went to the office. I am now caught up with my blog, and can post in real time! Yea!!

Wed., Nov. 10 - Wellsvilles




The Wellsville Mountains to the west of my drive to work are often very beautiful.

Fri., Nov. 5 - Playdate with Hudson & Tage. Etc.










































































































Diane, Brittany, Tage and Cohen came to play with Hudson and Dawson, Mommy and Grandma & pa. Dawson was afraid of Cohen because he did high-pitched happy squeals. It was a beautiful fall day, and we all had a lot of fun visiting and playing. We always check "who is tallest," and I think Tage has pulled ahead.

Thurs., Nov. 4 - Beautiful sky


I am always attracted to the beauty I see in the sky.

Sun., Oct. 31 - Hanging out
















Just a regular Sunday...notice Dawson is just getting over his fear of "strangers"....

Sun., Oct. 31 - Dominating





































Andrew introduced us to a new game that we play all the time now--Dominion. Who will dominate in Dominion today?
