Here's a little video of Zane taking a bath the day he turned 16 months...I cannot believe how big he is getting. I'll post more on that later. For now, I leave you this video to hopefully tide you over until I have time to post some pictures.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
Well, I am behind yet once again! I meant to get all these snow pictures up while we were in the midst of the worst winter storm I've experienced since we moved here 2 1/2 years ago. Even the locals say that they hadn't had this much snow since "the big snow of '96." Not only did we have lots of snow, but we had many days with negative temperatures!
It all started the week before we left for Luke's graduation in Alabama. The morning of the day we were to leave, we woke up to drifts in the driveway between 3 and 4 feet high. In the non-drifted areas, Luke measured the snow to be at least a foot high. Luke started to shovel and thankfully, our neighbor who usually plows out our road made a couple of passes in our driveway, which saved Luke so much time and energy.
This is what Luke encountered when he opened the garage door.
After we got back from Alabama, it continued to snow. One day, I think it was on New Year's (all the days started running together- there was a lot of snow!) we had at least 18 inches in less than 24 hours! There were several days that Luke spent most of the day shoveling and/or snow blowing our drive as well as our families', and some neighbors' too. It was crazy!

18 inches!
Almost 2 feet on our back deck- and this it after Luke had just cleared this part of our deck the day before!
Our back deck- Luke said the snow was so high, he could not even tell where the deck ended and the snow began!

Just a few random shots...
These were taken just before sunset one day- we do live in a beautiful place (cold for sure, but definitely beautiful!).
We've had a bit of a respite from the bitter cold and snow as we've had highs in the 40s the last few days. About half of the snow has melted away or just settled down, but the ground is still covered with about a foot of snow.Friday, January 2, 2009
Fitzwater Christmas
On Christmas day, we went over to Luke's mom's house around noon. We had a yummy dinner and then opened presents. It was fun for the whole family to be together since it was a Montana Christmas year.
We are thankful that Mark, Wendi and the kids made the trek from Texas.
