While writing about our new Pittsburgh cousin last night, I had no idea that he would be born just a few hours later!! Congratulations and welcome little baby Malcolm!

Our family was suffering serious cabin fever from being kept in by illness. We decided to head up to the snow. We ate lunch at this little cafe up in the mountains. I had to walk across the street to try to take a picture of the “snownados”. The wind was really blowing and whipping up big swirling funnels of snow in the fields. Of course, it wouldn’t do it while I stood there freezing with my camera in 20 degree weather.

Who’s kid is that in the window?

Oh

Good lunch

Big snow plows!

The boys dressed up like big walking pillows again. The forests are so beautiful in the winter.

Really fierce wind and blowing snow

Done

Trevor was cold but didn’t want to go

It was a good adventure and we came home to much warmer temperatures. Bill even got to pull a deeply stuck truck out of the snow on the side of the highway. There is a reason to always have a tow strap in the truck.

The boys should have been exhausted but didn’t want to go to sleep!
