The Blizzard of 2009

We always say we love a good blizzard and love lots of snow - the silence, the comfort of staying inside with the fire and family, as well as seeing others helping others plow out of the snow. I'm not so sure Brian feels that way after the blizzard of 2009. 12 inches into it, he looked out the window after three bouts of shoveling and said, "stop the madness!" After 23 inches he asked me to get him a chiropractor and hernia surgery for Christmas. He did all the shoveling himself since everyone told me to take it easy being pregnant and all. While he didn't really enjoy it this time, Val had a blast frolicking in the deep snow. We thank Brian for all his hard work.
