Well the blizzard has come and gone but unfortunately we are not going anywhere any time soon! We have slowly been chiseling away at the nearly three feet of snow in our driveway, yet we haven't seen (or heard) a plow anywhere nearby. I'm not sure what I will do stuck in the house another day. I have already steamed and pureed anything I could find to make into baby food. We made a homemade pizza for dinner. All the laundry is done and the house is clean. We have had some pretty intense family dance parties. Some of you may end up with some pretty fancy Valentine cards if I get desperate. Oh yeah...I also made soup!
