Salem Winter Wonderland

Hey everyone. We aren't getting nearly as much snow as Lafayette but here are some pictures from the past couple of days.

On 12-21-08 Joshua couldn't take being inside anymore and so we ventured out into the wintry paradise.

On the 21st again playing with what he called icicles.

We had fat flakes this morning (22nd) and we went out to see them.


When this picture was taken the room was only lit by half a dozen candles. Joshua is holding a flashlight and that is a windy LED light on his play mat. Our power was out most of the day yesterday, but came back on at 7:30 pm.


On the 21st I wandered over to Minto Brown Island Park across the street and took some pictures. The interesting thing is this dock has always been partially submerged. In this picture it is frozen in this pond.



This tree is getting a little drowsy.


"Christmas trees" on the corner of our street.

It is really beautiful and quiet outside but very cold. We hope we're able to make it to Mom and Dad's for Christmas. At least we're in a warm home and have plenty of food and diapers and not at an airport or bus station trying to get somewhere or trying to find a spot to sleep like many other people right now.
Merry Christmas everyone!
