It's been so long. Blogging is harder than it looks (Anjelica!). Anyway, it's a few days before Christmas so we thought we'd show you some photos of the last month, the recent blizzard, and just a general update on life.
Here is our lovely Chirstmas tree. It was quite fun to decorate and has left our livingroom smelling amazing. Below is our homage to Seattle - with a ferry and the needle.
On the 17th, Karin finished her last exam of her first semester! Two days later, it began to snow. Meg's district shut down school at noon and it pretty much snowed from 2pm on Friday until Sunday evening. That puts us at today, Monday, and Meg's district is still closed (four day weekend!) and Karin's car is still buried. Our goal today is to get it out. The pictures below are of the snowy weekend and Maddy enjoying the white fluffy stuff. Meanwhile, it's already getting a little old to have to put on snow pants to take the dog for a walk. But it is beautiful, and Boston goes all out with x-mas lights so it really looks like a winter wonderland. Also, on Friday night, while walking Maddy in a blizzard, we witnessed the "Thunder Snow" everyone had been talking about. We even got lightning along with it. It was pretty strange. Oh, and Meg's new favorite word: wintry mix. Wintry mix is to Boston as sun breaks is to Seattle.
It begins...

She really, really, really loves the snow!
