Snow Days

Feb-17 » Filed Under: Sweet News » Posted by: Todd

Our first week home with Anna has been less eventful than it was when Cooper was born, but it hasn't been without its challenges. Even though both Julie and I have time off from work we were planning on keeping Cooper in daycare. Not only would it keep him in his routine, but it would give us some time alone with Anna during the day so we could ease into the newborn lifestyle again. No dice. It started snowing Tuesday and didn't let up until midday Wednesday. Not only was Cooper's school canceled, but we were stuck in our house with over a foot of snow on the streets. It took me all morning on Wednesday just to dig out half the driveway so we could get one car out (see video below).

Needless to say everyone was struck with a serious case of cabin fever. I'm not ashamed to admit that we've had the DVD player spinning Elmo and Sesame Street quite a bit the last few days to entertain Cooper. Anna has been the easy one. She's been great, and has even been sleeping 5-6 hours at a stretch during the nights. All things considered everyone is doing quite well. I even see some 50 degree temperatures in the 10 day forecast, which seems miraculous given the snow dunes in our backyard.

Yes . . . I WAS going crazy. I honestly don't think there's been a day since Cooper was born (unless I was sick) that I have not left the house. We finally got out for a real "adventure" today! Went to the playground in the mall AND got espresso. It was heaven. :)
