Jan 2nd - Snow

We received a couple of inches of snow last night. The asphalt section of the driveway was warm enough that the first of the snow melted and then froze. Kelsey was unable to get up the driveway in her car. She ended up driving their 4WD truck. Andy stayed home and played Mr. Mom.

One of Lydia's current "things" is to come up to you and grab your fingers so that she can lead you around the house with her. The other evening she led Andy and I over to play house with her.

She doesn't like it if you sit in a chair, she wants you on the floor. She was in the process of heating up something in the microwave in this photo.

The girl LOVES to be outside. Kathy got her all suited up and took her out even though todays high didn't even get to 20.

As soon as she got off the porch she stuck her mitten in the snow and licked the snow off it. She continued to do it over and over again the entire time we were outside.

We don't have a sled but hey...take a plastic trash can lid, drill a couple of holes in it, thread a rope through the holes and you have a sled.

 She had a good time on the sled. By the this time she was getting cold, and her mittens were wet from sucking on them. When we headed into the house I had to put the "sled" on the porch. To bad the photo below is so dark. You can't see her big smile.

We were supposed to take the motor home to the Camping World in Columbia today, to have some things repaired. There was no way I was going to attempt the getting up the driveway. I did push most of the snow off the drive with the tractor, but the asphalt was still slippery. I put some salt on it and by mid afternoon there were some decent sized sections of asphalt exposed. We have Lydia tomorrow so we will try to take it up there Saturday. Tonights low is supposed to be zero but tomorrows high is supposed to be 31. With some sun the asphalt portion of the drive should be reasonably clear by Saturday.

Good night. May God bless you and yours.
