Texas Snow!

Wow! What a beautiful snowy weekend in North Texas! We have got about 11" of snow. On Thursday morning I bundled up Graham and got a quick picture of him with snow in the background. This is his 1st snow day but he was only out in it for a second; long enough to take one picture and then back inside he went. Morgan woke up excited about the snow and loved watching it fall through the window but didn't like it when we went outside. She didn't even want to walk in it so I didn't get many pictures.

Graham's first time in snow!



All Morgan wanted to do was sit under the patio and watch it snow.



Our street...





Bryan came home from work a little early so we went back outside to enjoy the snow.

At first, Morgan still wasn't having it.



Bryan ran around with Morgan in the snow and she started to have fun.











On Thurday night at 10:15 our electricity went out. I called Bryan's parents who live 2 miles away and they still had power so we decided to pack up the babies and head over there. Before we even got out the door his mom called and let us know their power had just gone out. We decided to stay put and just hoped it would come back on in the night. We made sure Morgan was covered up and Graham slept with us so we could keep him warm. Friday morning, Bryan's parents brought us a generator and a space heater and we all camped out still hoping our electricity would come back on. It was another beautiful day with all the snow! Here are a couple pictures.

At about 3pm, the house was really cold and we only had about 2 more hours of daylight so we all packed up and went to Brent and Julie's house in Haslet. Thanks for opening your house to us. We enjoyed the heat, light and of course time with you all!!

Morgan playing Wii with Uncle Brent. Morgan loves her Uncle Brent and Aunt Julie and has SO much fun when they are around. She cried when we left to go home and kept saying "I want to stay here!" First time that has ever happened. It was pretty sad but she was fine the second we got in the car.

On Saturday about 3pm our electricity came back on. Yay!! 40 hours without power, 11" of snow and 2 babies made for an interesting weekend.

I wanted to share a few pictures from the past couple weeks. We are still doing great.

He looks just like his daddy!

Impatient and Hard-headed

These are two words that describe me and my eagerness to begin working out again. Not sure why I am so ready to hit the gym because after Morgan was born and my doctor released me 6 weeks after my c-section I had no desire to workout. This time is different and I am so ready to get in shape. I have been feeling great so I have been telling Bryan that I am going to get into a routine of going to gym. He constantly reminds me how hard-headed I am and how I need to obey my doctor’s orders. Yesterday while the kids were napping I went out for a walk and thought I will run a little and Bryan will never know. My jog didn’t last long because it was uncomfortable so I walked 3 miles to get a little exercise. I will wait 2 more weeks like my doctor suggested because they obviously know best! I have set a couple fitness goals for myself this year. Bryan and I want to run the White Rock Half Marathon in December (which he could do today!) but I have some training to do. I am also thinking about doing the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Breast Cancer Walk in November but haven’t completely decided. It will be great to achieve some of my goals and get back into a regular exercise routine but now I realize that I have to listen to my body and take it slow.
