Count Down

The kids are so excited that this week has finally come. I have been asked almost every day this last week, are they coming today?? Now we are down to one more sleep until we go to the airport. Then we get to go at the end of the week, and all of the cousins are coming from Kitchener. Oh the excitement from the smallest member of our house is about to explode out of the windows.

no more snow

After all the snow we got last year, we were relieved that they were forecasting less snow this year. I guess they changed their minds. These two pictures are looking out the front window at the snow on the front lawn. This is the approximate height the snow was last year at the END of March. The plows push thesnow onto the sidewalks here. That would mean that there can be no more snow here this winter. This is not what the weather is forecasting. On the plus side, it is supposed to be warm most of next week. Some of the snow will melt while the grandparents are here. Unfortunately, it is currently saying that it will cool off the day aunty J comes out. She has already been warned to bring a sweater, old houses are drafty.

We are sure excited to see the family, even with the snow and/or slush.
