Snow On The Pines

              Today I am updating you from the comfort of my own couch here in Michigan. It is 8 degrees out and has been snowing for 3 days straight. We really haven't gotten as much snow as you would think. Anyways today was my first ("snow day") no go to work day. I had to shovel the driveway and the porches though, that is much much more work then I normally accomplish in the CG.
             Last weekend was filled with sports. Some wins, some loses, the Pats will try again next year while the Bruins have finally just started. Norah is going to be raised in a sports loving family, hopefully she adapts.She seems to like being dressed up in Boston sports apparel, she is already playing the part of a Boston fan, but her fragile heart is still unknowing the torment her favorite teams will put her though year after year.
             Norah is getting stronger and smarter everyday. At night while I'm home I like to hold her up so she is standing, she can go for quite a while now. Norah has found her hands and has realized that she can use them. Its so funny to see the delight in her eyes as she simply bats at her stuffed animal hanging above her on her play mat. Norah has a doctors appointment on Friday for her 2 month shots, we will also find out how much she has grown. She is growing up much to fast for my liking.
             When Norah was born Allison sent her birth announcement to the White House, today we received a letter back from the President. I thought that was pretty cool and a great idea of Allison's.
               I brewed my first batch of beer on Sunday and now I just sit and wait a couple of weeks until bottling day. I look am looking forward to tasting the fruits of my labor.
             Papa White introduced me to audio books and now I can't get enough.It sure makes my 40 minute ride to and from work much more enjoyable. Our local library is very nice and I am amazed with the amount of books and audio books at my disposal. I just finished The Woods by Harlan Coben, I really liked it and would recommend it.
             Anyways here are a few pictures to tide you over.

Look at the weirdo plows Whitehall has, they do a pretty aweful job as well.

Before last Sundays game.

Norah wants you all to know her thighs are not chubby, we have been doing squats and those thighs are pure muscle.

Sad face after last Sundays game.
