Record-Breaking Snow; Record-Breaking Winter

Another big winter storm came through on Wednesday, February 9, 2011, and dumped 18 inches of snow on us! Then the temperatures dropped and Thursday morning it was -17 degrees! According to the local meterologists, this has been the snowiest winter on record. Lucky us. Come on, spring!!

Fashion Show

Today I took a few pictures of Kate in her new outfit that Bryon bought at Gymboree. I don't know if you can tell by the picture, but the sweater is a giraffe sweater complete with ears, etc. Sooo cute.

Ice, Snow, Bitter Cold, and..... More Snow

A big winter storm came through Northwest Arkansas on Tuesday, February 1st. First we had freezing rain, then sleet, then finally about 5inches of snow. Then it got bitterly cold. Wednesday night it was -3 or something crazy like that. Needless to say, not much melting has occurred and I haven't left the house since Sunday evening, except to go to CrossFit on Thursday afternoon. Today we got more snow. We were only supposed to get 1/2 an inch to 1 inch, but so far we have about 3-4inches with another 3 or so expected before it comes to an end. What a difference a week makes! They are also predicting more snow and more bitter cold next week. Hurry up, spring!

Birthday

I celebrated my 42nd birthday last weekend. It was a beautiful day -- 75 degrees and sunny! I even went for a run at Lake Fayetteville in shorts and a tank top. In JANUARY. Bryon grilled steaks and the whole family was over to celebrate. It was a great day. I have so much to be thankful for and I know the coming year will be the best yet!
