Snow Day!!

In case you haven't checked the London weather lately, here is the latest: snow & lots of it! Well, for London at least. It started falling yesterday afternoon and has not stopped yet. The Greater London area got around 8 inches overnight and we are expecting another 4 today. It is the biggest snowfall in 20 years, so everything is shutdown or delayed . . . pretty funny for us since this would just be a minor slowdown at home. Check out the chaos it is causing here.

Last night we went to our friends' place for a Super Bowl party. It was really fun and a great excuse to be out in the snow! We haven't seen it in awhile and it was a beautiful night, so we all enjoyed the walk to & from their flat. Here is a picture of Elisa's first peek at the white stuff:



And here is a picture of Pat pushing Elisa home after the game. Good thing our stroller is an all-terrain vehicle!



Speaking of HRH (her royal highness), I have been working on getting her blog up & running. But when you only have 30 seconds a day to work on it, it takes awhile. Maybe today/tonight will be the day!! In the mean time, here are a couple current pictures.

This is Elisa celebrating having the winning square at the end of the 2nd quarter last night with a good old fashioned thumb-sucking! She found her hands last week and can now be spotted sucking on them from time to time.

 

Elisa has been smiling for about a week or 2 . . . sometimes it is hard to tell if they are "real" or not and of course the little stinker won't do it for the camera. But today she couldn't contain her excitement about Daddy's snow day and she let a little one slip in front of the camera.
