Icy Tuesday and Maternity Pictures!

Well for once the weather people got it right!  We got slammed with freezing rain last night here in the midwest and this is what our door looked like this morning when we woke up. . . 

If the ice gets much thicker on our back step, we won't be able to open the door!

  Kaia was pretty funny this morning when I let her out.  At first she was pretty unsure of the ice but after a while I think she liked it.  She was running (ok, sliding) around trying to get the frozen sticks out of the ground.

She was so confused as to why she couldn't get her ball and play with it.  It was frozen into the ground!

Although the ice is miserable and I would MUCH rather have lots of snow, it does look pretty on all of the trees around our house.  Since I of course was off school today, I (even being 33.5 weeks pregnant) went out and got some pictures of this pretty (but nasty) ice.  (Don't worry Mom, I was very careful and only slid a couple of times!)

{Our yard is literally an ice skating rink!  I've never seen anything like it before!}

Supposedly, the worst is not over and we are supposed to get hit even harder with ice and snow this afternoon/evening.  We're bracing for the worst but really hoping we don't lose power!

On a happier note, we had maternity pictures done a couple of weeks ago and they are posted on our photographer's website!  I don't have them on a CD yet, so if you want to check them out head over to Corner Cafe Photography Client Proofing.  The password is Gibbs (make sure the G is upper case).  I loved the way they came out and can't wait for Kaila to take pictures of Baby G in just over a month! :)

Well I'm off to get our candles out in case we lost power tonight!  Have a good Tuesday!
