The snow is gone, the sun is out

Although there was more snow on the ground this morning, by the afternoon we warmed into the 50s and it all melted. Many trees in the area have minor to major injuries to them due to the snow being too much for their new growth. It’s sad to see all that fresh wood exposed and beautiful trees ripped apart.

When Willie got home, he and Bekah headed outside for some basketball in the driveway. Jordan stayed inside and played Tiger Woods Golf on Wii.

April snow showers bring… dead plants?

We have gotten a freak snow storm today. Not just flurries, but an honest to goodness storm. I don’t think we got this much snow combined all winter. As of 11PM, we had 8 inches on the ground!

I wasn’t far from home this evening – only in Edmonds – but my friend’s power went out! Must have been the heavy snow on the lines. Cars were everywhere, and I even had to leave my van there and have Willie come pick me up! It was just too slick to try to get it out of their driveway. Oh well, a little excitement in mid-April is entertaining.

Jordan had a couple doctor’s appointments this morning to try to evaluate his vestibular (inner ear blanance) system. The testing was challenging for him. Here’s a picture (taken with my phone) of him in the goggles. Willie called him “Bugman”. We’ll follow-up with a well-known therapist whenever I can get an appt. scheduled with her. Currently, Jordan is in Auburn at a camp. He’s called twice wanting to come home – within 5 hours of leaving. Hopefully he’ll make it through the night. It’s been a long and busy day. He must be exhausted.

I helped with final costume fittings for Suessical: The Musical today. It is going to be great.

Bekah’s the only kiddo home tonight – Jordan’s at camp and Ashley’s at Summer’s. Tomorrow, depending on the snow, I guess, we’ll have to go back and pick up my van. I’m hoping to make it to Cindy’s stamp party tomorrow, and then see Jordan before I head off with 9 girlfriends for our Girls’ Night Out – dinner and comedian Anita Renfroe! Fun stuff!
