Lots and Lots of SNOW!!!

It's 9:01am Saturday and we just took Daisy outside to "play" in the snow.

We have a video clip and lots of pics to post. Stay tuned...

It's now 10:57am and I've been working to get lots up from yesterday and today on the blog.

Here's some video:

It even snowed up in our carport -- we won't get the cars dug out for a while!

Friday Night Snow

Snowfall began around 2pm today.

I (David) walked home from work around 5pm.

Some pics of my walk:


Here's the accumulation on our deck at bedtime:

Friday Afternoon Update

I went to NRCC yesterday for a bit with Daisy. We left Dublin just as it began to snow.

Boy did it hit fast! My wipers iced up several times, requiring me to stop on the side of 81 to clean them off. Traffic crawled at some points...it took Daisy and I almost an hour and half to get home. Ugh.

Daisy was fussing in the car, meaning she sweated A TON! Therefore I gave her a bath once we got home.

Snow is coming down fast - so more to come on that...

Bath Time!

She looks like a natural enjoying her bubble bath!

Daisy's First Recital

While I was at a church board meeting last night (voting on a budget for next year -- sounds exciting, right?), David was home hanging out with Daisy. He put her up to a musical toy, and she began to figure out how to bang at the "keys" and create music.

Here's a short video clip he took with his phone:

All clean and happy...

Surprise!

Daisy (and David and I) made a surprise trip to Richmond Thursday night for Grandpa Rose's birthday!



Today, we hung out in Richmond with my folks and the nephews. This included the typical El Paso Friday lunch.





We also ran some errands and enjoyed some time together. Tonight we watched "Julie & Julia" on DVD. Daisy slept through the movie... overall it's been a great day!

Happy Birthday Grandpa!

Daisy would like to wish her favorite Grandpa Rose a happy birthday!



(Daisy told me when I picked her up at daycare this evening to pass along the message!)

Daisy Claus

David was on a business trip on Wednesday so je wasn't going to get home until late. I decided Daisy and I would surprise him by decorating the exterior of our house for Christmas.

Since it was cold outside, I bundled Daisy up in her red fuzzy suit... Hence Daisy Claus was born.


I then strapped Daisy to me in a carrier and we went to work putting up bows, candles, and a flood lamp.

Here is the final product of our surprise for Daddy David. He loved it!



Mommy's little "deer" was a great helper! :)

Monday and (last) Friday

David reminded me that I hadn't put up any of our pictures from Friday night in downtown Blacksburg. Oops!

But first, here are Monday's pictures of the day:

Daisy with Daddy in his office when we met him for lunch.

Okay, back to Friday. Daisy and I walked downtown and met David by the Farmer's Market.

It was the Christmas kickoff night in Blacksburg, as well as the grand opening of the new Market Square Park (home of the Farmer's Market). We wandered down to check out the new park. It's really nice.

Then we walked back to Henderson lawn for the annual town tree lighting. They lit the tree at 5:30pm, and there were a lot of folks packed in to watch.


We had planned on taking Daisy to see Santa at the Lyric, but by the time we go there after the tree lighting, Santa was on break and getting ready for the parade. Oh well. Maybe next year.

We decided to walk back down to the market to hear some tubas play and take in some more sights.

We ended up at the Cellar to eat dinner while the annual Christmas parade began.

When we were done eating, we watched some of the parade as we walked home.


It was a fun night filled with the Christmas spirit. :)
