Snow Days!

We've had some crazy weather here the last few days! The snow started on Sunday afternoon and has been on and off since then with about 5 inches since Tuesday evening. I missed school on Wednesday and Thursday and will tomorrow as well. It has been nice to have some quiet days at home, especially given that Cliff's been working from home too. I've been cooking, reading, napping, and enjoying these quiet moments. The puppies have enjoyed the playtime in the yard!

Spring has Sprung!

It's hard to believe that so many signs of spring are popping up in our front yard!

It is only February.

Power Outages!

Well, I'm sure many of you have heard on the national news all the craziness that has been going on in the northwest. It is all true!

On Thursday night/Friday morning a very powerful windstorm hit our area with gale force winds of up to 70 miles an hour and along the Washington coast, they reported winds of up to 90 miles per hour. Needless to say, the wind caused a bit of damage. On Friday, over 1 million people in the Seattle area were without power and today (Monday) there are still about 350,000 people without power. We lost power on Thursday at about 11:30pm and regained power on Saturday at 4:30pm. We were very thankful when the lights on our Christmas tree popped on. It was a rough couple of days.

Due to outages in Bellevue (where we teach) we did not have school on Friday or today, Monday. Tomorrow is supposed to be our last day of school before break. Hopefully, we'll at least be able to go to school and wish our students a Merry Christmas! We'll see...
