Hmm...mistaken weather forecast

We were told to expect about 1/4 - 1/2" of freezing rain today. What did we end up with? 6 inches of SNOW. Drew loved it, and got to build a genuine snowman with Aaron today.

But as for the weathermen...I think they need to check the computer models once again, or (and I know this is a crazy thought) look out the window to see the heavy snow before they say "It'll just be rain primarily today."

Ok, I realize this is VA and all but...

You want to know what they consider "close schools" worthy down here? Let me show you:

Isn't that crazy?? Now, this is actually snow, not ice. Just snow.

On the other hand, Drew loved it. He got to make a baby snowman. He loves, loves, loves to play in the snow and doesn't understand that what we get here is nothing. Ben got to go outside for a bit too, but he was not impressed with the cold.

We're back in VA!!

We had quite a visit up in CT! It was so great to get to see our family and friends. An update on the accident...no insurance and no license leads to this being handled by my insurance as an uninsured motorist case. Thankfully we have a great company (Travelers) and they are taking full care of us. We have a rental for the next few months most likely as parts for my van aren't readily available. The perks of having a brand new van I suppose....

The boys are doing great. They are both so happy to be back home. Drew turned 3 on January 30th, but is still insisting that he is 2 1/2. He hasn't "accepted" that he's getting older. Ben is now 8 months and crawling like a madman, as well as pulling up on anything he possibly can and cruising a bit too. I can't seem to leave him anywhere now! The boys are great friends and spend whole days entertaining each other. Ben loves to follow Drew everywhere, a habit I'm sure won't soon be dropped.

Here are a few pics that we had done while in CT:
