I estimate that our snowfall totals by day's end will be close to 20 inches!! More pics to follow.

By the way...more snow is coming early next week!!

Before Blizzard #2 Hit

Enjoying a snowy morning snuggle.

Sean is standing on the mound of snow that Stella is sitting on, able to examine his snow removal handywork on the roof.

Picture taken from the mound of snow...we will be digging out for many, many weeks!

Stella loved walking around the neighborhood in the snow; I carried her in kicking and screaming.

An earlier post will show this tree 'snow covered', here it is covered with snow--mostly from the roof!!

Calm Between The Storms

This photo was taken after our 'big' snow in December...about 20 inches...notice the mound of snow next to the front walk.

. Sunday, Feb. 8th This mound of snow includes...shoveling the approximately 35 inches of snow off the front walk plus snow that came off the roof!!

Stella loves it...little does she know that most likely she will be 39 years old the next time it snows like this (we hope!!)

Happy 2nd Birthday to Cousin Sofia ['Fia'] and Uncle Fred!

Braving the Elements

But wait, there's more...this is Saturday AM...we still had about 8 more hours of snow ahead of us.

Sean heads out to clear off the oil tank...we lost our heat for about 48 hours...luckily some neighbors had some space heaters to lend!

The first of many times that the front walk was cleared...

Bring It On Mother Nature

Daddy starts rolling a snowball.

'Stellie' (that's what she calls herself these days), tromps through the snow.

Our Christmas tree, covered with snow...see it in another post covered in a different way...

Daddy's snowball has grown, Stella gives it a hug.

Daddy's snowman became a snow mushroom.

Pigtails!

Mommy's been waiting a long time for enough hair to make little pigtails!!

Mama's Boots

Welcome Back Holly!

We've gotten rid of the high chairs and moved to the table for lunch and snacks; notice our civilized flowers (thanks Mom!)

Ni-Ni

Giving Daddy a goodnight hug.

The cheapest toys...

Here she is, enjoying a box and packing peanuts!

Baaba Head

I love barrettes, but Stella doesn't keep them in for long yet; she likes to pull them out of her hair to examine them.

She has taken quite a liking to Sean's bobblehead figures. Here she is feeding Francisco 'Frankie' Rodriguez 'nanas'

Fingerpainting

Playing Peek-a-Boo with Nanny

Look Ma, No Hands

Stella's getting to be quite an expert horsewoman.

Dancing Queen

Here is Stella wearing a belly dancing scarf; she loved dancing and jingling around.
