Liam: the bad news and the good news

The bad news is that our poor baby developed a double ear infection this past weekend.  The 2+ feet of snow on the ground complicated our trip to the doctor, but we made it! 

The good news (GREAT news!) is that the medication is working and we have our happy, fever-free, sleeping and eating baby back! He's doing really well and we are thrilled!

Baby on the mend! (with daddy, warming by the fire)

Scenes from the great dig out!

There's no business like SNOW business!

I have no idea exactly how much snow we got, but we got A LOT.  

Let's go to Mr. T for a commentary:

Here's T on Friday night, about ankle-deep in the white stuff:

By 7am Saturday morning, the snow was about 1 Mr. T high:

Some time around 10am we had reached 1 1/2 Mr. T's.  Then we just gave up with the measuring.  Once you're up to 1.5 Mr. T's, frankly, what's the point?

Liam peering into the frosty landscape:

If you look closely, you'll see a little butternut squash mustache on this baby.  He's teething and having an awful time of it.  So, we were just glad that we could get near him with the feeding spoon.  It's not been a favorite activity lately.

Getting ready for the big outdoors!!!

Preparing for "REAL" snow

By most accounts we have 12+ inches of snow in our future! We intend to be prepared:

"Practice" Snow - Feb 3rd
