Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

I believe that today is the first day that it hasn't snowed since I arrived in Green Bay, Wisconsin last week. That means it's been snowing for about 5 days. Now I love a white Christmas as much as the next guy (or girl), but I think I've had my fill for some time now. Sadly, although it's stopped snowing, now the wind chills are dropping temperatures below the zero mark. The fun just never stops in the great white north!!!

Check out what the view was like the last few days:




And our poor Texas car....buried in snow.....


But it hasn't been all bad. I was able to reconnect with some of my favorite girls in GB, have some coffee, some laughs, eat at a couple of my favorite restaurants, and spend quality time with the parents. But sadly, tomorrow morning Green Bay will be but a memory, and an image in our rearview mirror, as we head south to Illinois. To more below-freezing weather.

I'm counting the days til I'm back in Texas.....

What Do You Mean, Dogs Don't Wear Jackets?

That was my response to Nelson when he told me our dog, Denver, didn't need a jacket to keep him warm during our trip up north to Wisconsin. This, despite the fact that it will probably be hovering somewhere around zero or something equally insane, and that our little guy has never experienced weather colder than probably 35 or 40-degrees. After all, he IS a Texan and has never traveled outside the state. But being the concerned dog mommy that I am, I defied Nelson and picked up this sporty little number for him anyway. Pretty cute, no? And just look how "happy" Denver seems to be!! Can't you sense his joy?Notice the fancy hood?I bet he's thankful every day that he gets to live with us!
