Our Big Freeze

Right around the time of the Super Bowl, it got pretty wild around here for us. First, we had some really cold temps (well, for us at least, and for Texas anyhow!). From a Monday through a Saturday, the temperatures didn't rise above freezing even once! We also got some snow and snapped this shots.

Looking out from the living room.

The view out the kids' window.

And a REALLY strange sight- OUR car, with show on it and TEXAS license plates! A little surreal, to tell you the truth.

Well, because of how cold it was, the kids and I were pretty much home-bound all week. Then Greg and I both got the flu at the same time, and it was miserable!!! By the end of two weeks of illness and icy roads, we finally emerged, like groundhogs coming out to check for their shadows. I think we squinted at the sun.

Thankfully, a few weeks have passed now and we are feeling like normal people again!
