Politics and a 2 Year Old

So on Tuesday morning, the day of President Barack Obama's inauguration, we decided to flip on the TV and watch what we could of the event. Natalie was a bit disappointed that she didn't get to watch Curious George, so I tried to explain to her that on that day, Barack Obama was becoming our president so we wanted to watch. Shortly after that conversation, I had to leave for work. Then, just a few minutes after I had left, Natalie walked out of her room and came right up to Jamie and said "Barack Obama is coming over today and bringing presents!". If only it could all be that simple - Barack Obama and presents, at our house.

Just a little video of Natalie having fun in the snow!

What a Winter

So the snow just keeps coming. We keep breaking records. Now, on top of all that, it has warmed up abnormally fast and the warm weather is coming with a lot of rain. For those not familiar with snow, it acts like a sponge with rain. Roofs are collapsing, streets are flooding, many schools are still closed and unable to reopen after the Christmas break. Crazy. But I am having fun. Here is an article from the national news.
