This is what we saw on our deck Saturday morning. That's what we do instead of cleaning off our messy desk...we just wait for it to snow and cover it up!
It snowed all day for a grand total of 12 inches.
Look closely at the window on the far left. Do you see how the indoor blinds/shutters are out of whack? Our designer recommended that look. She is very exclusive and a bit of a trailblazer, so please don't hate on our customized look. Oh, you want her business card? Her name is Keira le'Dawg, and she can be reached at 1-800-DESTROY EVERYTHING OF VALUE IN THE HOME! (: All joking aside, we had plantation shutters installed in the dining room and Keira immediately tore them apart trying to "protect" the home from other dogs who had the audacity to walk by the house. That might have been on day 5 after they were installed. Lesson learned!
Hania was bundled up in a "vintage" snow suit (yes, mine from 1977!). This will make you feel old: this is the first time we've put this one on her because it doesn't have legs, it is just a big, warm sack. Why, you ask? Because children weren't required to be strapped into car seats in the 70's. She says that polyester is surprisingly warm!
Just hanging out in the street in front of the house. This is pretty much what it looks like all summer. Without the snow, that is. Our neighborhood is incredible, just in case I haven't written about that yet. There are a lot of young families on our section of the street and we tend to congregate for impromptu parties in the street. I'm not trying to get all Norman Rockwell on ya'll, but it is really amazing and it has made our time here in Kentucky much more fun. It truly is like a movie, and I doubt we would ever be this lucky again to find this many warm and caring people in one relatively small space. Funny this is, most of them aren't even from Louisville, which is probably why we've come to depend on each other so often. There is a little turnaround loop next to our home, so it is not unheard of during nice weather to pull into your driveway after work and find 5-10 neighbors and their kids congregated there! I'm sure there will be plenty more to write about these good folks once the snow melts, because we all feel a little isolated in the winter when we can't just meet up anytime we choose!
Hania is starting to become annoyed because the snow flakes are sticking to her eyebrows.
Big Tony, the little kitty mob boss.
Some of us enjoyed playing outside more than others.
Miss Delilah is one of those "others". We also call her Gurr because she growls like a dog. Doesn't she look so warm and luxurious here? If she were a Starbucks drink she'c be a "mocha-Gurrchino".
Daddy, when is it going to stop snowing?
Don't all three of them have a similar expression here?
Warming up and doing tummy time!

That "decorator" joke about Keira made me laugh out loud! I totally bought into the whole "avant garde" designer thing, right up to the punch line. Ha!
Your neighborhood sounds awesome. I hope that someday, I'll get to have a house and nice neighbors. Sigh!
I fell for the joke too! I was laughing through this whole entry. I can relate to dogs destroying things.. though not as bad as shutters. Daisy likes to eat the soles out of our shoes. Which is a bit annoying, but not very expensive to fix.
