Thanks Punxatawny Phil!

There are six more weeks of winter thanks to Punxatawny Phil.  I guess Mother Nature decided to kick it off with a bang. 

This is how it looked Friday just before midnight.

9.5 inches on the driveway

At 4:00 am it stopped snowing for a little while

This spray can is sitting on the floor of the garage at the door

Snow total at 4:00 am

When I finally decided to go out and shovel at 10:30, this is how much I had to shovel

Can you see the 4 foot retaining wall in the back yard?

The wall used to be there.

We still can't get out the front door

This is after we had started shoveling the driveway. Can you see the progress?  I sure can't!

New York Trip

Who needs to crawl?

Really, who needs to learn how to crawl? The good ones never do.

William has been turning over and rolling around for a while, but now he is doing just a little bit more. He has found a way to get around without crawling, because let's face it crawling is so overrated.

Mr. Spew goes mobile.

One down, and seven to go.

I officially finished my first term of school today. I actually finished yesterday when I turned in my two finals, but they weren't due until today at noon, so the term officially ended while we were at church.
I did pretty well I think, but not as good as I had hoped. I had a solid A in both classes up until the final joint class, group project and the final in each class. I still don't have a final grade for each class, but I didn't do too well on the final so I'm thinking I'll end up with a B+ in at least one class. I guess I'll find out later this week.

Good Eats

I saw a receipe for deep fried pickles on a show a couple of weeks ago and told Samuel about it. He's been asking to try it for a week. We finally had time to make them today.

They were a big hit!

Two signs that October is almost over...

Halloween, and...

The New York Yankees in the World Series.



It's almost time for Mr. November to appear.
