February 2011 Winter Storm!





Prince of the mountain!

Our alley.
The side of our house.
A car parked in front of our house.
So, the BIG storm was crazy!!!! We got 20 inches. Vince used both the snowblower and the shovel from 4:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Our heat stopped working because of the storm. so I had candles lit everywhere. Plus we made Nicolas put an extra layer of clothes on. Luckily, Vince fixed it by mid-afternoon. Also, by then Nicolas was outside w/ Vince helping him out. We wanted to share some of our photos from the storm.

The above picture is the front of our house. Believe it or not we had our unusual squirrels in our front yard. They were looking for food but they were also playing with each other.
We're ready for summer. We hope everyone made it through the storm all right. Sending love and warm thoughts to all of you:)

Sharks vs Tidal Wave




Nicolas had a swim meet last Thursday ( 10th ). He did pretty good. A little bit of a off night.
He wasn't feeling good and he was pretty tired. Plus the meet was unexpected. So
everyone was having a crummy night. His strokes were:

50 Backstroke 51.00 1st place

50 Butterfly 1:06.00 3rd place

50 Freestyle 49.92 4th place

He also did 2 relays, but his team didn't do good. But regardless what kind of night he was having, he still did really well. We are proud of him!!
Until next time, take care:)
