We Came Home To This...

During our trip the weather was certainly not as nice as we had hoped it would be however when we finally reached our home in northern MN we found over 2 feet of snow and below zero temps. David had to walk up the driveway (carrying Peeko as the snow was too deep for him to go through...Tackla loves it and plows her way without difficulty)...anyway....he walked up the driveway, got the bobcat and plowed the driveway so that he could drive the truck up it. It took him 2 1/2 hours to clear the snow. I think this snow is beautiful but it could be a tad warmer...above zero would be good.
Because it was too cold to do anything else yesterday we took a drive to see what we could see
A winter wonderland on a northern MN back road
Look out for the open ice.
Chrissy remember this...
Well this is what it looks like in December...this December anyway

Prior to making the four hour journey home (we had spent more than enough time in the truck for one day) we spent the night at the 'Leonard Hotel'.

Here are Oscar, Tigger, Julia and Kelly. She's got quite a bundle there.
Julia has changed a ton in only three weeks. Here she is enjoying sitting up. Soon she will be doing so on her own.
And Daddy reading a Charlie Brown book...precious....
So... David is already wondering where we will be next winter. Somewhere warm I am betting. Mikey and Jan are you ready for us?
