Who Dat Saying Dey Gonna Beat Dem Saints?

Our family is sooooooo excited for the Super Bowl on Sunday. You see my husband has been a Saints fan since way back, even in the bag head days. He has always been loyal to his Louisiana teams, being from Louisisana and all. I however only became a Saints fan because I had no other choice. The Saints have been on our tv every Sunday, during football season, since we got married. So on behalf of our family and all the Saints fans out there........ Geaux Saints!

Silent Sunday!

Uncle Andy finally made it in last night around 11. It only took him 2 days to get here. Although he didn't mind spending a whole day and night in NYC.

Going down was fun but coming back up was another story!

Snow pics

Even though there is lots of snow it's not that cold. I think when we went out it was only 32. This is by far the most snow that we have had since living here.

So this is what a blizzard looks like

Sorry I don't have pictures we have not even opened the door today. I would estimate about 13-15 inches of snow has fallen since last night around 8 pm. We have pretty much had a pj day today. Preston and Lily have spent the day playing games, coloring, reading, and running around like crazy. Aaron's brother was supposed to fly in tonight got caught up in the blizzard of the century in the East coast. Right now he is probably walking around New York City enjoying the sights. hopefully he will be able to fly in tomorrow.

Batten down the hatches baby!

We are in for a big one....... or so they say. When you live in the north Atlantic you learn to believe it when you see it. Apparently there is a storm brewing and it isn't a Texas thunderstorm that I miss so much. It's a blizzard blast and not the one from Dairy Queen.
Here is what the warning said a few minutes ago.

Avalon Peninsula North

Blizzard warning for
Avalon Peninsula North
Blizzard conditions are expected over the above areas on Friday.

This is a warning that blizzard conditions with near-zero visibilities are expected in these regions. Monitor weather conditions..Listen for updated statements.

An intense low pressure system southeast of the Grand Banks will move northward to lie east of the island on Friday. Snow associated with this system will spread through eastern sections overnight then move westward across the island on Friday. Snowfall amounts are expected to range from near 35 centimetres over the Avalon Peninsula to near 25 centimetres along the northeast coast. Lesser amounts are expected over the remainder of the island. As well strong northerly winds gusting up to 90 km/h are forecast for Eastern Newfoundland and combined with the fresh snow will give blowing snow and blizzard conditions on Friday and Friday night.

That's about 14 inches for those like me that need an app for that. Thankfully Aaron got back from a short trip offshore today. He was located about 100 miles south of the Grand Banks. It was so cute we saw the helicopter fly over while we were out shopping this morning and Preston said "heli- coc-ter" I said "yes, daddy is on there" His face just lite up. Lily of course chimed in with "daddy at work!" She doesn't miss a beat.
I hope Aaron's brother is able to fly in tomorrow night. He will be our last visitor in Newfoundland before we move back to Houston. Andy, I hope you bring some sun with you, or at least warm clothes.

Videos fixed

There was a technical difficulty with the recent videos I uploaded but it's fixed now. Carry on.....

Twin Tea Party

Silent Sunday!!!

Well the snow is back. We don't have too much going on right now. I have just been cleaning out closets, cabinets and the basement getting ready for the movers to come pack up our stuff. I still don't know when that will be. Ashley is doing great in Houston. I am so proud of her she is so adaptable to new things. She just fits right in where ever she is. She has been staying for tutorials after school so she can get caught up on what the Texas schools are learning. The way Preston says Lily's name is hilarious!

Funny picture

Someone got a pretend leaf blower and goggles for Christmas and we just had to try them on Preston and Lily.

The Meltdown!

Winter is not quit over in St John's but it sure looks like it today. The temp warmed up to 38 today and the rain fell hard melting alot of the snow away. If this is global warming I will take it!

Here is a picture of my back yard today:

and then here is the house this time last year. Big difference.
