It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Lucky us. We were here for the biggest December snow storm in Philadelphia since the late 1800's. We got around 21" in two days. Because it happened on a weekend, only church got canceled. On Saturday, we spent the day shoveling the walk, building a snow fort, and sledding. All in all, we were outside for 5 hours or so. We were pooped, but it was worth it.

Jenny and I ran to the ACME to get a few groceries. After circling the lot once and finding no spots, we decided to go park on the side street near the parking lot entrance. When we came back we noticed a car that seemed to be making a commentary on Jenny's current condition.

And for my next act, I will make a crown grow on the side of my head!

A #2 Day

This past Wednesday, Tabetha made great progress in her potty training efforts. She pooped in the little training potty for the very first time. We were all very proud of her, almost as proud as she was of herself. That day I was also unceremoniously dumped from my job due to a knee-jerk (I forget, is the phonetic emphasis on the knee or the jerk?) reaction of one of the partners in spiteful opposition to the wishes of my direct supervisors, one of whom was the other full partner in the business. That is the super short version sparing many a detail. All in all, it was a #2 kind of day.

Look who's a big girl now!
