[Harper's first snow storm]
Right before Christmas, Virginia got a taste of a real snow storm. It started Friday night and continued until Sunday morning. In case you didn't hear about it, here is one of CNN's stories covering the storm. And here's one from MSNBC.
I'm not exactly sure how much fell total, but you can be sure it didn't slow Shiloh down. Saturday morning Shiloh decided that he still wanted to try to make it to his gym - which is normally a 20-30 minute drive away. So, after getting Harper suited up (and cleaning up her first real diaper disaster... on our bed) we hit the road, plowing through streets that were in serious need of a plow. We were nearly run off the road a few times, but managed to make it all the way to the gym just in time for the manager to let us know that he was closing up for the day. bummer. We were able to stop in to see my Aunt Linda, who lives in the neighborhood. She had been out shoveling her walkway when we arrived. By the time we left -- not much more than an hour later -- another 3-4 inches had accumulated.
On our way home we stopped at a few stores to look for a snow shovel. At Target, they let us know that all of their shovels were gone 8 minutes after they opened that morning. So much for being responsible home owners. Luckily our awesome neighbors shoveled us out and let us borrow their shovels to exhume Shiloh's car.
[Our street, covered in snow & neighbors]By Sunday, the snow had stopped and the sun was out. Adi had a great time bounding through the snow and exploring our new neighborhood.
