I'm Back!

Sorry for the hiatus. We went back to Missouri for Christmas and it was a wild trip. I'm just starting to recover. Our 5 hour flight there took 12, we drove over 1000 miles and went everywhere from Southeast MO to St. Louis and Columbia and back again. No wonder we're exhausted! Hope everyone had a very merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year! We thoroughly enjoyed time with our families....just wish we could get back more often.

Anyway...Yesterday we woke up to snow. Pretty snow, especially since we didn't have to leave the house. As always, you can click on the pictures to see a larger version:

I bundled up and went outside. I wanted to make a snowman, but it was too dry to stick properly. I took pictures anyway because...well, I can't resist playing with my camera.

Here's a shot just to show how much snow was left when I was out (it had started melting, and it was around 11:00 by the time I went out, so I don't know how much there was originally):



And this one is my favorite. Clearly, I was having some fun with the photo editing software:



The rest are here in the album, but I don't have time to edit them right now.

Of course, it's been snowing most of today too and it's supposed to snow every day between now and Friday. I think I'm over it. ;)
