Digging out from the storm

The blizzard of 2011 was epic.  Work was closed on Wednesday, so we got a day tucked away at home with Luke.  Matt used that time mostly to snowblow.  It only took a total of 7 hours for him to get our driveway back from the snow gods.

Here are some other pictures of our house and the snowstorm's drifts.

Last weekend we stayed at home, miraculously.  Sunday we spent the whole day packing up the kitchen in preparation for our big kitchen remodel that started on Monday.  Myself, Matt, Luke, Spumoni (& Isolene too during the days!) headed to Donna and Emil's for the coming week of demolition.  Let me tell you...getting every last item out of your kitchen, pantry, front closet and living room bookshelves while simultaneously setting up an interim kitchen in your guest bathroom for the next couple months, while simultaneously packing you and your baby up for a week away...is no picnic.

Oh - and the Packers won the Superbowl on Sunday of course, which made all my family in Wisconsin happy.  Luke was happy too, since you know he is half Packers fan/half Bears fan.

Luke photos from the week are below.  He is officially 5 months old as of last week and based on our home measurements he is 16.5 lbs and 26 inches.  What a big boy!

Wazzup?



I'll sign off today with a couple photos of our friend Bear, who passed away this morning.  He gave Kristin & Cory many years of being a wonderful companion and canine friend.  We'll miss you sweet Bear Bear.  We hope you are frolicking in snow in heaven with all the bowls of food you can eat.

  1. Wow, to the amount of snow you had! Looks like Matt had a full day of work clearing the drive way. Luke just keeps getting cuter and he has grown so much! Good luck surviving the kitchen remodel. It sounds like a mess, but will all be worth it when it is done.
