Blizzard

The Lafayette area experienced our first blizzard yesterday for the first time since 1978. We got 17 inches on top of the 3 we already had! The wind was the worst part, with snow drifts around town reaching 8 feet! We have some in our yard that are probably over my head. Just so you know, I won't be out there to find out! We have some amazing neighbors that we kind enough to use their snow blowers on our sidewalk and up the driveway. Unfortunately, Jason had no excuse not to go to work then. Our street still isn't plowed, though, and who knows how long it'll be before they do.

Cameron and Gavin have been stuck inside because of the weather since Sunday, but have been doing really well finding creative things to do. Gavin had been really big into his "crafts" lately and continues to amaze us with his artistic ability. He created a 3-D cow the other day using paper, scissors, and glue. It stood up by itself and everything. I don't know if I could have done it better myself...and he's only 4.

Cameron is walking more and more everyday and can walk across the room when coaxed. Its pretty amazing considering he was no where near walking just a few weeks ago. He LOVES to push things around and every now and then, you will hear a chair in the kitchen moving across the floor or walk into a room and find some large object (with or without wheels) moved across the room!

Well, that's all thats new here. Hope you all have a wonderful V-day. If it will be anything like ours, we will be cuddling up in the warm house and staying away from the monstrous piles of snow outside!

Love ya,
Jaime
