Time flies

[Pic: When Alana was 14 months old.]

It has been months since my last entry. I looked up my blog again trying to find out what I wrote about the snow storm in 2006. Funny! We just had another storm the day before yesterday (Monday). This time, we are safe and warm at home! Steve got home from work before 2pm. We watched the news and knew that many people were stuck in traffic, taking many hours to go home. Some gave up their cars on the icy roads. Well, snow wasn't the problem but the cold air turning snow quickly into ice! Driving on the ice is like having your car doing ice-skating, at least that's what I think. Monday around noon, I took Alana to the library. Afterwards, we went to Goodwill. When we walked out of the store, there was a blizzard! Yes, blizzard!! We went home at once. I wanted to stop by the grocery store to get some vegetables but it was hard to find a spot to park close to the store. I drove round and round but had no luck. So, we just had home. It kept snowing in the afternoon. On Tuesday when we went out to play in the snow, there were about 7 to 8 inches deep of snow. Alana had so much fun. It's her first time seeing and playing in the snow. Last year, we didn't have any snow and she didn't walk yet. She enjoyed it more this time. :) It's Thanksgiving tomorrow. I'm baking an apple pie today and currently baking cinnamon raisin bread. I'm very thankful for everything I have.
