Isabel (& Josiah) Island

Eagan, Minnesota
I am a Christian, trying-to-be-crunchy wife and mama of two kids (nearly 5 and nearly 3), who keep me very busy, as well as the mother of our angel baby who was born and went to be with Jesus on November 26, 2012. I also work full-time outside the home so I don't get to blog nearly as much as I would like about my children, but I do what I can!

A little dusting of snow this weekend

So we had a little snowstorm (rather, a MAJOR snowstorm) this weekend.  I knew it was big when we opened the blinds and found our windows downstairs completely covered with snow.
The next day I (Luke) decided to brave the outdoors (it was 0 degrees with a brisk northerly wind) and shovel the driveway.  I do not own a snowblower.  I'm not sure that my back will ever recover.  There were 5 foot drifts at the end of the 3 car driveway.

 This is what the snow typically looks like after a big snowstorm in March.  Not sure what this will look like come this March.

Notice the snow piled as high as the fence........honey who let the dogs out?

Carved a little path to our neighbors.

Ginger always appreciates the freeway I carve out for her in the backyard.  

Lots of snow.

Ginger was actually in this picture.

If we are not careful we might loose Isabel in this canyon.

Finally....lots and lots of snow!

Winter wonderland

This is what we woke up to this morning....


And somebody was PRETTY excited about that, so this is what we did...


Luckily Josiah was cooperative enough to take a 45-minute nap while Isabel and I bundled up to enjoy playing in the winter wonderland. I don't know if he would be quite as enthralled with it yet!
