snowed in again

This is the second weekend in a row that we have been hit by a big snow storm. The last snow storm didn’t even melt all the way before the second one hit. For those of you not in Virginia, this is not normal. We usually get maybe one storm all winter, and melts away after a day or two. We are now on our third storm of the season and the second time Church has been cancelled.

This was a picture from last week. We got 11 inches of snow. Our neighbors made a little sledding hill and used the top of a tupperware tub as a sled. It was pretty funny to watch as the front end of the lid would get stuck and the little boy would get thrown into the snow.

The snow is beautiful and  all, but it sure puts a damper on our weekends. The first weekend it was a nice excuse to stay inside relaxing and watching movies, but this weekend we are going a little stir crazy. We even toyed with the idea of going to the mall, just to get out of the house. But after scraping off about a foot of snow from our cars we decided we’d had enough of a distraction to make staying inside seem not so bad.

And here’s pictures of the storm we got yesterday. Not as much as last week, rain during the night melted some of it.

The snow was melting off the roof of our apartment and literally hanging over the ledge. I took this picture through the window (too cold and wet to actually step outside), hence the window pane in the corner.

So, to pass the time Matt has done a lot of video gaming.

I’ve done a lot of pacing around the apartment, cleaning, making and writing Thank You cards (they seem never-ending), and putting together a baby book for our little one.

Today we combined with the two other wards in our building for Sacrament only. It was sure nice to be able to get out of the apartment, even if it was only to go to church.
