I'll have one blizzard please...

Well, my pessimism paid off. We did get a lot of snow! The lady on the news said that we got 16 inches of snow (I think, but she might have been in GR, I don't know). Outside my door, there is a lot. Up against our garage there was a least two to three feet of a snow drift, and when Dave shoveled a path to our garage, there was a foot wall of snow. It's pretty fun! It is definitely the most snow I have seen since living here in Michigan. Even more exciting than a lot of snow is what comes with a lot of snow, snow days! Yes sir, we are going on day two of a beautiful warm snow day, complete with warm fires made by my hubby, homemade cookies and soups. Oh, and we've been watching movies too. It just doesn't get better than this. Though my California counterparts can boast and brag that in January they can lay out by the pool with there 80 degree weather, they never have or will experience a snow day. And for that, my heart breaks. It is just one of the best experiences in the world!

One bad thing, though, has happened during this "Blizzard 2011," as our local weathermen are calling it. At 1:30 that Tuesday night, James threw up all over his bed, for the first time. Meaning, the first time I have ever had to clean up throw up in my three years of being a mom. And though I completely despise the task, a half hour later we had clean sheets and a sleeping boy again. Luckily, that accident didn't repeat itself, it must of been some weird fluke in his system. Hopefully, though, I can be accepted into the sisterhood of mommies? Like, have I earned some stripes now, and can officially be called a mom? I hope so. I just pray that I never have to do this again. Or, never have a Ruth Hocker situation, where he son throws up all over her in Meijer. I think that is the most/worst story I have heard in regards to this topic. Ask her about it, if you wanna know more.

This weekend we are going down to Indy to meet our new niece, finally! I mean, hopefully the roads and everything are nice and smooth so we can go down. We are excited to meet you, Faith!
