here's to winter

Not much is new, but here's a few pictures from the week.

Our mail box is still snowed in.  Plow man: 1, Bobkat: 0

We have icicles all around our house.  I think it looks lovely.  Little did we know, though, we were supposed to be "raking" our roof to prevent all the ice, which has caused ice dams (which I never even knew existed until now). 

Rob did a great job shoveling our entire driveway and the path up to the back door.

Poor Jetta didn't know what she was getting into when she moved to the Northeast.  She was snowed in pretty good, but since then, we have gotten her out.

The end. 

let it SNOW

This is what I have the pleasure of living with right now.  The plows just keep coming by, making that barrier between the mail man and my mail box bigger and bigger.  

And we're getting more tonight!

Kind of fun, for life in general, but very annoying for the mail box situation.

birthday boy

Someone special had a birthday last weekend.

::I made him wear this hat, and think I will do so every year from here on out::

And as part of the celebration, we finally upgraded from our pee-wee TV to a more suitable one.  It was kind of funny how happy/excited this actually made him. 

::Um, yes, that is our Christmas tree still up almost 1 month after Christmas::

Happy Birthday Robert!

pictures galore

This pretty much encompasses life from early October to last week.

::The Freedom Trail.  We did this on January 1- a god way to start off the New Year.  And yes, I know I look super fashionable with my jeans tucked into my snow boots ;) ::

::And we woke up to this last Wednesday.  It is/was SO pretty.  The prettiest I have ever thought snow was::

Cheers.  Happy 2011.
