G. went outside with L. to snap a few pictures of our trees that are weighted down with the heavy snow. We easily received a foot of snow in our area, which my husband and I were not happy about as we dug out the car this morning for his early morning commute. As you know, we love snow ... during the winter. We're ready for spring over here, even the kids didn't have their usual enthusiasm to play outside this morning.

But later today we are off to snow-free lands for our annual urban vacation to NYC (the kids are already talking about how many boxes of Deli Manjoo we're getting this time). We'll be back next week and I'm sure we'll have some new tales to tell from our big city adventures.

Adios until next week ...
