The Blizzards of 2010

Between February 5 and 8th, we got a total of 32 inches of snow. It was crazy. They even cancelled surgeries at Union Memorial so Shawn got 2 free days off. We shoveled and shoveled and shoveled. We were too tired from shoveling to ever really go out an play in it. Shawn tackled me and that was fun. But mostly, we shoveled. I shoveled when Emma was napping and just brought the baby monitor outside with me. Schools were closed for a little over a week. I am so very glad Spring is here. I don't want any more snow for a while. We did get to spend a lot of time with the neighbors, Brooke and Oscar, so that was nice. We trudged back and forth between each other's houses. We cooked together, played Rock Band, and just hung out. I am so glad we have such great neighbors who have become such wonderful friends.

This is Shawn trying to shovel while the snow was still coming down to make it easier later. It didn't work.

This is the view from our living room window. You can see the little bump that is the neighbors car.

Here is our house.

The sky was beautiful after the snow.

We went on a walk through the neighborhood once our driveways were clear. I'm pretty sure this house is vacant. The snow came halfway up the garage.

This is on of the side streets that isn't on the emergency snow route. They didn't get plowed out for a few days.

This is our street the day after the second storm. The city did a good job keeping our street driveable the whole time, and clear within a few days. Emma enjoyed our walk.
