And you might start noticing another pattern as well...

That I will be posting a ton of pictures. My new camera is so much fun to use! I love taking pictures now that I can capture the picture the instant I push the button instead of waiting 30 seconds for my camera to react.

Sadie doesn't like to cooperate. She learned from her brothers to cover her face the minute she sees my camera. Little stinker!
She posed for this one because she saw Maya doing it.
Maya was a great subject. She sat and smiled and asked me to keep taking more.
Here is another one of the model.

Well the winter storm predicted for over night and today DID materialize! We have another snow day today. Nice! It is quite deceiving as to how much snow we actually got. My sidewalk and driveway don't have a speck of snow on them, but my windows have snow in between the window and the screen. The snow is blowing sideways because we have huge wind gusts. At one point I looked out and couldn't see. It looked like a true blizzard. I think the roads are pretty bad too b/c there is bound to be a layer of ice under the snow. It rained all day yesterday- we even had thunder last night. Michigan sure does have some crazy weather! I think we will stay put all morning. I saw in one report that it may die down by 3:00, so we'll see. The boys are both still in bed- not sleeping, but watching the movie Barnyard. Sis is singing and bugging Ryan right now, so I have some peace and quiet.

I am going to try and convince Ryan to go to Meijer's in awhile. It seems like a good day for baking. He doesn't even want to go out yet in this mess. I am going to stay inside and crank up the heat. Ironic how it can be close to 50 degrees yesterday and today be 0 degrees (or minus 10 with the wind chill!!!!) Crazy!
