Tuesday of last week brought a surprise March blizzard to our area and an actual snow day (no way to get to work and no travel advised for our entire area) on Wednesday. Two of our local W.al-Ma.rt's even closed their doors...I know! Wally World never closes! The picture above is a street view (on my way to work) after the snow had been moved from parts of the road on Thursday. The pics below were stolen from my sister's blog. She and her adorable little family live about 12 blocks away. The drifts and the wind were amazing. Some people who lived in neighborhoods with less mature tress than we have were literally drifted into their homes. You're jealous fellow bloggers, I know! Thankfully the weekend has brought us melting temperatures, and the drifts will soon be a thing of the past. (Can anyone say flooding, perhaps?!)
...and a few pics of the progress we've made on baby boy's nursery. The picture with the bookshelf gives the truest view of the color on the walls. The other pics are from my camera phone and make the walls look more blue-green. I'm still waiting for the window treatments to arrive, and I've commissioned one of my mom's best friends to make a slipcover for the glider rocker cushions. I also ordered a fun stencil "decal" from this site to place above the crib. I went with the classic line from the book "Gue.ss How Mu.ch I Lov.e You" and it will read: "We love you right up to the moon...and back." I bawled as I designed it and imagined it above his crib. I've been doing a lot of happy crying lately.
Finally, a 27 week belly shot. How in the world did I get this big?! I think my tummy has finally outpaced my chest. Husband wasn't sure that would ever happen. Har har.
