Winter Fun

It finally got warm enough to actually enjoy all this snow.

Two Weeks Later

Ummmm......look familiar?

the snow is here

My car isn't near as pretty now that I took it out on the roads today!

We were out for about a minute when he asked to go back inside...it only took us 30 minutes or so to get bundled up!

The Silence of Me

OK....I have been sick since Tuesday. Today is Monday. Today I feel normal. I'm ecstatic. I feel great. I want to shout it to the world. I have a problem with that however. When I open my mouth to speak either I get complete silence or if I do manage sound it is a strange kind of croaking reminiscent of the singing cowboy on the anti-smoking commercial. You know the one. Where he is singing using the voice thingy up to his throat. "You don't always die from tobacco..." I have never lost my voice before. This is totally tripping me out. I am such a chatterbox. What am I going to do without my voice?!?! It is kinda funny though. I would be laughing if it were possible for me to laugh....but no voice=no laughing. Why would I be laughing? Because Colin is still in bed asleep and there is nobody else here. So all this talking I'm attempting has been directed at none other than me! That's right. I'm upset because I can't talk to myself....how sad is this?

Hats Wonderful Hats

I was just perusing some old photos and realized that people were right when they said Colin has a lot of hats....boy how they were right....in no particular order....enjoy.
