Big Snow

Almost 2 weeks ago we got about 25 inches of snow. Thankfully it was on a Saturday that Nathan didn't have to work so it was actually kind of nice. This was the biggest snow storm that we have experienced. I think the largest one while we were in Iowa was 18 inches. Anyway, here is what it looked like.

Rewind: George's First Christmas

We celebrated Christmas quietly with our little family this year. It was nice just to have Nathan home for a few days and have nothing to do.
