Today we are supposed to be hit with an ice storm and I have been told we could get up to an inch of ice. Now either this didn't happen last winter or I simply blocked it out because of the ugliness it sounds like it will be. There is talk of losing power..right now it's only 23 degress (quite warm since it only got up to 9 earlier this week) I am thankful my heat runs on gas, even more thankful that a week or so ago when some part of my furnace failed and wouldn't stay lit it was quickly fixed that same day and so I have no worries of us all freezing here. I am starting to get a bit cabin feverish though, the weather/road conditions have not been good for a full week now and there fore has kept us from going on any walks/runs in the past week. The tredmill is definately going to save my mind this winter.

A few weeks ago we had our first snow and I took some pictures of the kids having fun in it...well Kylie was having fun, Owen was having a hard time figuring out how to walk in the stuff and fell over...got cold..started crying...and wanted to go back inside within about 5 minutes.

Kylie also had her Chritmas pre-school program last week. She did great, definately nothing wrong with that child's vocal chords....I felt bad for the little boy sitting next to her though, at one point he turned his head and just glared at her with a look that clearly said "must you sing SOOO loudly?" She just kept singing and smiling and waving. I just kept video taping and tried not to laugh to hard.

Here she is in her Christmas Dress before we left for the program.
