More Snow/&Pictures of our Christmas decor

Today is the last day of 2007. New Year's Eve.
We had a pretty good snow storm last night
into the morning. This snow was heavier than
the last. The snowblower broke down for
awhile so I shoveled the driveway. Thankfully
Ray was able to get the snowblower going again
because tomorrow we are expecting a foot of
snow. I think it's time to have our driveway
plowed by someone else.


Tia enjoys romping through the snow. The snow
sticks to her hair and forms little snowballs on
her legs.


Here's our living room decorated for Christmas.

covered trees in the background.

Visit and dinner at Thijs' house

The Friday after Christmas Thijs' Mom and Dad
invited us over for dinner and for a visit. We had
a great time. I got to hold Thijs for awhile and
he even fell asleep on me. He is so cute and
cuddly. We had a great dinner that was lovingly
prepared by Alicia. Roast beef, garlic mashed
potatoes, steemed green beans and dessert.
Yummy! Here I am holding Thijs before dinner.


I took a picture of their beautiful Christmas
tree.

More snow to plow for Ray.
Fortunately, we had a warmer day where the

Mémère babysits Madeleine

I recently had the opportunity to sit with Madeleine at her home while her Mommy went to work and to a doctors appointment. Madeleine is so sweet. At first she missed her Mommy but we quickly got over that and she did marvelous with me. We had lots of fun. We sang and danced and played pat-a-cake. The following are a few pictures I took while there.

Here's Madeleine in her exersaucer. She drools
a lot when she plays in this. She wants to put
everything in her mouth.


Here she is in her swing. She loves to hang out
in her swing. She swivels around and can see
everything that's going on.


Madeleine loves her bath time and splashes
vigorously with her feet.

Every night Madeleine reads a bedtime story
with her Mom. See how she pays attention

Madeleine gave us a good chuckle.

She likes playing with her elephant toy.

Let It Snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Two snowstorms in a matter of a couple of days. Haven't seen this much snow in a few years. In fact, the last few years we didn't have any significant snow until February. Here it is not even officially winter yet. Here are some pictures I took this morning of my poor sick husband snowblowing our driveway and I took some of our back deck along with the icicles hanging off the roof. Both of us have bad colds. Bah Humbug!!!
