Dreaming of a Green Christmas

I think there's about a 0% chance of a green Christmas this year, but a girl can dream. At least we got no new snow today. Nicholas borrowed a snow shovel from a neighbor and dug our car out. We made it to Jenny and Josh's to see Emily. It was so good to hold Emily - what a little cutie! She looks just like Josh. And it was really good to hug Jenny and know she's okay. I missed her!





















And because I'm obsessed with our snowfall - here are a couple pictures from this morning.
























Jenny reminded me today that I never posted the fact that Ellen is walking! It took her awhile to figure it out, but she's really taken off! It's hard to show in pictures, and I couldn't get a video to post. She's our big girl now! And most of the time she's too busy to let me take pictures anyway...

Awwwww, Emily is so cute!!

And I FINALLY made it into Portland! It took luck (I got the last seat on a flight today...otherwise I wouldn't make it 'til the 26th) and some cunning (and light rail), but I'm finally in town! Hopefully when this stuff melts (Friday, I heard last) we can get together.

I can't believe my eyes with all this snow...it blows my mind.

"The Today Show" mentioned this morning that the odds of Portland having a white Christmas "are 0%...but I think this year that will change." Yeah, probably.

Oh I am so happy you got to Jenny and Emily!! It must have torn you apart! I cry everyday I talk to Erin knowing I can't be there so I can totally relate to you! Tell Jenny I said congratulations! Emily is precious and adorable! Jon spent a good 3 hours shoveling his car out of the snow...just like you, you couldn't see any of it after 3 days of sitting there! I can't wait to see you guys on Thursday...and to see Ellen walking and walking and walking!

Awwww....I think she's pretty darn cute too :) And I missed seeing you too---it felt like it had been forever! I'm glad you got to hold Emily and that we got to see Ellen WALKING!!! That was soooooooooooooo cool to see!! I can't believe she's really doing it on her own now! I also can't believe the icycles on your deck! HELL-O! I believe you were the one who was dying for a snow day....are you now regretting what you asked for? hehe :) And thanks for the congrats Kellie!
