Philly = snowy

Right now I'm enjoying my 5th snow day in February.  Philadelphia has shattered its all-time record for yearly snowfall...most of which has come this month.  In fact, we're listed as the number 4 city for snow this year!  What's even more amazing about it is that we've had over 70" when our average is 14".  As you might expect, this has led to delays and cancellations all over the city.  Some parts have been good (being forced to slow down, resting at home, reading books, enjoying my Wii, accomplishing tasks I'd normally procrastinate about), but others have been bad (kids bouncing off the wall at school, lonely/quiet days at home, and less purpose).  It's just so strange to expect work and then not have it.  Currently, the school district plans on shaving off two days of its spring break and tacking on an extra day before summer.  No word yet from Spruce Hill on our decision...here's hoping we keep our normal schedule and declare this wintery weather an "act of God" and grant everyone grace.  =)

Here are some pictures from two weeks ago's blizzard.  Sledding down the art museum?  Life goal accomplished!



Getting married?

Oh man!  If only Google had these out a few years ago when Sarah and I got hitched...
