Blizzard of 2010

Well, it was by Atlanta standards anyway!! Yes, the Atlanta metro got a blanket, make that sheet, of snow yesterday and last night and we were greeted by a winter wonderland when we looked outside this morning! Greg started the day off wishing he had a 4wheel drive vehicle when he got halfway up the big hill just outside the neighborhood and then started to slide back down. He finally had to drive in reverse back up and go the other direction. Once he got to the highway it was smooth sailing, but he said he was surprised by how slick the roads really were. The boys and I had a lazy morning with scrambled eggs and cinnamon rolls and once we put Mathis down for his am nap, bundled up to brave the cold and romp in the white stuff! They both remember the big snowfall we had back in 08 and were thinking we were going to make a big snowman...well, we did make a snowman, but not quite as big as the last time! :) We proudly showed our redneckery by using our boogie boards to "sled" down the back yard...it was pretty funny but it did the trick! It's a good thing that it doesn't snow that often...my boys are warm weather boys and were done within an hour (so was mommy). I guess that we may have done better had we the proper clothing and equipment, but we did with what we had and it really was fun. Truth be told, I think that we all enjoyed the "defrosting" better...a warm toasty bath followed by hot chocolate and grilled cheese sandwiches...YUM! Hope ya'll are doing well...2010 is off to a great start here and we are so thankful!! We'd love to hear from you!

Love, the Powells
