New Neice and Snow Day #8!

Our neice Noelle was born today!! 8 lbs, 13 ounces and a full head of hair. Mom and baby are both doing well. We're sad to not be with her, but she's in Germany so at least this one isn't weather related. We're really hoping to get to Germany to see her soon. It'll kill us to only see pictures...

They're now calling our snow storm "unprecedented weather conditions", and as far as I can remember that's definitely true. I could post about a thousand - it's just so amazing to see Portland like this! We're up to about 2 feet of snow with an inch of ice from the freezing rain. And it's still snowing out!

Our icicles:


















On our deck with one of the icicles. I know I'm short, but still...the snow is to my knees!























Our car in our driveway. Don't think we're leaving anytime soon! Maybe if we had a shovel we could consider leaving the house.
















I took a walk this morning to our second car (I got stuck coming up our hill last week and Nicholas had to get me out and just parked at the bottom of the hill and around the corner). I needed to get into the truck to get the Christmas presents I had there, and had a few more problems getting to them than I expected....


















I'm a little worried about this tree breaking off on top of our car.

















I'm standing near the bottom of our hill looking toward our house.

















We were supposed to have garbage service Friday, but they couldn't make it up our hill. Haha - don't know when they'll be able to make it, but I don't think any of us will be moving our cans anytime soon.

My parents didn't get their trash picked up last Mon, nor probably today. Ick.

GAH, I want to get up there so bad! I hate winter right now!
