A week of many "firsts"......

This week the snow has seriously arrived! Monday it snowed a ton, and Juston and Hudson built their first snowman, Juston shoveled his first driveway, our car has read in the 20's for the first time, and we saw a "snow-blower" in full action (which is pretty cool!) for the first time. I shoveled my first driveway yesterday, and today when I came out of the gym- I had to use my snow brush to brush off the snow from my car and yes it had snowed that much in the 1 1/2 hrs I was in the gym! And over the last 16 hrs. we have experienced our first "lake effect snow" which has been a MAJOR downpour of snow. Juston has shoveled the driveway twice since we got up this morning to stay ahead of the game! Here are a few pictures from this week so maybe you all can get an idea of what we are experiencing for the first time. I have to say though, the pictures don't quite due justus to the magnitude of how much snow is falling or how pretty it really is!

Our house- and if you look in the middle of the picture you should see a yellow flag- that is the marker for the snow-plowing service to use to be able to plow our driveway in the middle of the night if we have more than 2 inches of snow. You can see the outline of the driveway and sideway using that flag as a reference! CRAZY!!!
Our sidewalk walking up to our front door!

You can kinda see the ridge of the driveway and the yard- it is getting bigger each time we shovel the driveway because that is where we throw all the snow from the driveway.

I am standing in the street taking this picture. If you look closely at the top left- you can see our neighbor (he is pretty tiny in the picture) using his snow-plow and the snow blowing out from the plow!

This is what I see when I look out the front door!

Justons car is in the street- look at the snow piled up beside it!

Our mailbox post is half covered!

Our deck!

All of these pictures above are from the last 16 hrs. when the snow has been the heaviest!

Daddy and Hudson

Hudson and the neighbors- who have fallen in love with him! He played outside with the neighbors for almost 3.5 hrs! He had a blast!

And just a new sweet picture of Hamilton! He won't have many snow pictures so I had to add him in here for the post! :)

Hope you enjoyed a taste of our adventure at the moment!
