Icepocalypse 2014

As much as we hoped and prayed to wake up to snow this morning, we had to settle for ice with a little dusting of snow on top. Spencer looked outside and was so disappointed. He really wanted to have enough snow to have a snowball fight and hit me in the face with some (direct quote). The city shut down because of the icy roads. None of us had to be anywhere today, so it's just felt like a regular Friday around here.

Spencer and I went outside around 8:00 to check out everything. We saw some icicles and lots of icy patches. Daddy's truck bed had a lot of ice in it, too. Not the snow we had hoped for, but still fun to experience wintery stuff in these parts.








Oh, I almost forgot that Spencer wanted to slide down the driveway. Not nearly as exciting as what we did back in 2011, but here's a little peek (kinda pathetic!):


We'll be back in the 70s this weekend, but more cold temps are ahead next week. Stay warm!

A Snowy Week (with revised video...)

Note: I replaced the video with a YouTube version so it'll work on mobile devices.

I've been in Minnetonka, MN this week, where much to everyone's displeasure, a nice little snowstorm came through yesterday. People in these parts get grumpy when it's still snowing in April, but to this Texan it's just magical.


I'm so ready to be back home with the boys. They sent me the sweetest message yesterday.


Off to the airport soon. Just hoping there's no trickle-down effect from Boston to delay my flight!

Snowstorm 2012

It snowed for 10 whole minutes in South Austin yesterday. But hey, any snow is still exciting!
