Or rather, we got a LOT of snow. About a foot's worth. It snowed from about 11am to about 9pm, really light powder.

This morning, Tom, Alma, and I went outside to play. We took some pictures, which you can see over at flickr. We also took some videos which I will upload this weekend.

It is supposed to snow again tomorrow.

I've finished uploading the photos from our Thanksgiving week visit to Pennsylvania. Lots there. And mom added some to the Alma Rose pool that are fabulous (but you must be logged in to see them...they're NSFW!)

I included a photo of what poor Alma looks like these days...her left eye's stye has puffed her eye up beyond recognition, and she tripped and smashed her face on a concrete paving stone yesterday morning. I took a child to day care looking like she'd just been pulled from a street fight.

I have a ton of videos to upload too, but I have to go through them and pick some worth watching, so that will have to wait another day or so. But soon, promise!
