Day 2 of the Blizzard of 2009!

Well it is Sunday afternoon and Micah, Emily and I are still at home and doing the best we can trying to dig out from this historic Blizzard of 2009! We didn't do much shoveling yesterday since it snowed ALL DAY! We figured there wasn't much of a point, since our efforts would literally be "snowed over". So Micah got up this morning and once the sun was shining went out and started shoveling!

Of course since it is still SO COLD, he has had to take many breaks. One of our cars is free....meaning we can get inside of it, but it is nowhere close to making it down our driveway. He is working very hard though, and plans to continue shoveling all day tomorrow if he has to until he can get down the driveway and off to work. As of right now we haven't seen a plow truck on our street, and no one has been driving it today. Although one of our neighbors recently left on foot ~ in attempt to walk to Sheetz ~ he hasn't returned so hopefully his journey is a safe one and we will see him later this afternoon!

But for now, Emily is still napping, I am getting ready to fix some Chicken and Dumplings for dinner and Micah is gone to return a shovel to one of our neighbors. Here are a few more pics that we took today!

Here's a silhouette of Emily peering at the snow out the window!

We wanted to take Emily out to stand in the trench Daddy shoveled!! The snow is about 2 feet deep here in Ruckersville!

She's not really sure what to think of all the white snow that is surrounding her!

Just appeasing us, as we stood her up amidst the snow to snap a picture....you know one day this will be a memory she will be happy to have recorded!

Emily's favorite new spot to play.....in her cupboard!

Checking out all the cool things inside her new play area....just to make sure she approves!! Love the expression on her face!

Just realizing that we have the camera out!
