We woke up Wednesday morning to jusr a dusting of snow. We were a bit bummed about the lack of snow considering what they had been calling for. I guess we are too close to the coast.
7am.
As the day wore on we slowly realised that the crazy looking rain was really ice and freezing rain and that it wasn’t stopping. By about 2 or 3 in the afernoon we had about 3 more inches of ice on top of the little bit of snow. Stuck in the house because the roads were in bad shape (the new said that they were reporting 20 -25 accidents a hour on the roads) but nothing to play in because it was all ouchy ice.
That is all ice!
It even made us wonder if we would make it to our appointment in Boston on Thursday.
One good thing from the day is that for the first time ever Ellie stood behind her walk and held on while she walked a few steps. This is the first time she has ever done this without us holding her at all. She must have know we were going to see Dr. Marx the next day and would bragg.
Ellie’s still not to sure about us not holding on to her.

Oh what an answer to prayer! We are so delighted with her progress! She is darling . . . what a joy she must be to you! She sure is to us!
Blessings,
Auntie A.
PS: My little volkswagon bug tried real hard . . . got out yesterday, but my “ski slope” driveway is a solid sheet of ice today. The dogs are all skittering out into the woods when they try to go out to pee! (hee hee!) They just can’t get their footing on all that ice. Only missed one day of school this week, but late openings the rest of the week–we’re ready for a normal schedule again!
PSS: Give your hubby a birthday hug from us. I’m sure he will appreciate it more from you!
