January

We had some pretty fun adventures during the last couple weeks!! Ben went to Monkey Joe's with his friend Adam. He LOVED playing on all the big slides. We also went down to the Museum of Science and Industry with some other friends. I love seeing how happy Ben gets when he does new things!

Also, here are some of our Blizzard 2011 pictures. It started snowing on Tuesday the 1st and when it finally stopped snowing, there was about 3 feet total in our driveway. Needless to say, I was snowed! My neighbor had been plowing our driveway and the plow on his truck had broke... I was stuck. On Wednesday afternoon I decided it would be "fun" to go out and get some exercise. I started to shovel out some of the snow. About 45 minutes later, I was wearing nothing but my T-shirt, jeans, and boots. I had shoveled about a 7x7 foot patch in the 100 ft. driveway. Ha! On Thursday night, I asked our landlord how much they pay to have theirs done. After I picked my chin off the floor, I told them I had some friends that were willing to come help me. Her husband over-heard my predicament and told her to call the guy and that he would pay to have it done! I was so thankful that he was willing to help! Finally, on Friday night, the heaven-sent plow guy came and saved us! Ben and I decided to celebrate. I told him he could pick anywhere to go for dinner and he picked Denny's. That food had never tasted so good!
