We were all quite surprised yesterday morning when the school board closed the schools in anticipation of the snow. At 7 AM yesterday, it wasn’t even raining and many people (myself included), were hoping for early dismissal so we wouldn’t lose another day. At 10 am we had sleeting rain and then by 1 pm, […]
Despite the frigid temps, Mason took in a lot more time outside in the snow. He was up and out early and happy to play alone or with friends. It is Day Three of Snow. School and many activities were cancelled but we were able to get out for Ash Wednesday Wednesday Mass. We are […]
Today was a snow make-up day but since we only used one snow day last November, we actually had the day off. It was quite amusing to awaken to four inches of snow which fell overnight. There was no worry about whether or not school would be cancelled. It just was. Bill is off on […]
The weather alerts started Sunday night with warning that snow was coming and due to the timing and the amount, many guessed schools would be closed. Sure enough, we used our first snow day. As luck would have it, Bill was home too (since Mondays are his day off). There was shoveling, snowballs, and plenty […]

Well, the forecast was indeed correct. The snow came yesterday and started to fall heavily just as school was letting out. We knew another snow day was in the cards for the kids but we didn’t expect Bill’s clinic to be closed as well. Thankfully, we had plenty of fun projects from Christmas to pass […]
We can’t catch a break from the snow days. I don’t know why, but I fell into the weather/food trap. It’s the one that dictates that when there is a big storm coming, one must run to the store for milk, bread and eggs because surely the way to survive in a storm is to […]
The birds know they can count on a free meal at our house. The squirrels somehow always find a place at the table as well. Of course, the illuminated path to our front door was just the welcome they needed.
Because school was closed yesterday for the snow, the altar servers were excused from serving at daily Mass. Since the roads had gotten a little attention and it was safe enough for us to travel the mile to church, he and I trekked out to 7 AM Mass. The grounds and walkway were nearly undisturbed […]
