Wow, they weren't kidding about the blizzard. Nat and I planned to be down in Atlanta this weekend to attend Chuddie and Nellie's wedding party. But, alas, Mother Nature wouldn't have any of that. It looks like we almost got 2' of snow last night.
On Sunday we piled into the 4Runner to take in the last day of half-price tickets to the Newseum. They managed to cram a lot into a tall but skinny space. We toured the "This Week" set, and did our own weather broadcast (a bit gimmicky, but I don't think they're targeting our age group. :)
Yesterday, my parents were nice enough to drive down to Va for a visit! We enjoyed a delicious lunch at M&S Grill, then did a little shopping at Fair Oaks before heading back to Reston for a fabulous meal at Il Fornaio! Anyone who knows us Foors knows that we love Italian food (almost as much as I love shopping), and Il Fornaio certainly didn't disappoint! Fantastico! If you haven't dined there yet and live in the area, you must go!
Here are a few pics of our happy table, taken just after we polished off an order of creme brulee topped with chocolate mousse--heaven!Thank goodness for treadmills! :-)Hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday!

Ok, not saying I won the lottery or anything, but YouTube sent me an email this morning:
Your video Pitt Fall at Kennywood has become popular on YouTube, and you're eligible to apply for the YouTube Partnership Program, which allows you to make money from playbacks of your video.
Ok, I'll admit, the pic I took two weeks ago was pretty weak as far as snow goes. But let there be no mistake now. The recent dumping has completely made up for it.
Nat and I attempted some sledding this morning with varying results. I think we need a bigger hill or denser snow. You be the judge.
Two weeks ago, the condenser unit on our heat pump froze over completely. I noticed the air filter was a little dirty, so I replaced it and thawed it out the condenser using the hose - all better.
We woke up to a winter wonderland this morning -- perfect weather for wrapping presents, decorating, and... couch shopping. :)
Nat is again an aunt has another little cousin! Her cousin Laura gave birth to Leah Grace five weeks ago, and we finally visited them both over Thanksgiving. We're happy to report that they're both doing great: Laura makes the whole "being a mom" thing look easy, and Jeremy isn't too shabby himself.
