Still Alive...

I am still alive, but have put my computer in "time out" in the best interest of my home and children.  It takes a lot of self-discipline (I love my computer and the internet WAY too much), but it has paid off and hopefully I can get caught up and back to blogging.  Only two weeks until my mom comes, yeah!  And then a month and my sister and her family come!  Yeah again!  (Bring some heavy snow gear...)

I'm not so sure this picture really allows you to fully grasp the concept of just how much snow there is.  The logs aren't as thick as they look - the snow is simply sitting on the top of them.

I am a little concerned about what happens next.  I think this first winter will be full of surprises and quite a shock.

10 minutes later...

What's that?  You're wondering WHY my computer is in "time-out?"  Because THIS is what happens when I am on my computer.

Ethan ate, yes ate, a self-inking dinosaur stamp.  As a matter of fact, as I am posting this, he is climbing on a chair trying to retrieve the stamp - again.  Back to time-out for the computer!
