Winter Wonderland

Last night, as promised, it continued to snow. Mike, Rooney and I had just left Seattle and stopped by our local grocery store when the snow started. We didn't really think much about it. What was falling wasn't big, fat flakes but seemed like little chunks of ice. We were supposed to leave the house again later, but when the road was covered in white we decided against it. Turns out we got out of Seattle and home just in time. Not too much later last night the roads turned into absolute chaos with cars slipping and sliding all over. Some areas people slept in their cars, and some even abandoned them on the roadside. When we got up this morning the streets were still covered in ice.


Thankfully Mike did not attempt to go to work today (and worked from home) but with all the streets remaining icy during the day Roonster and I were stuck to the house. With Rooney getting older, even more mobile and inquisitive, it is getting more cramped in this house. He can now reach countertops, climbs tables and when bored throws toys.

We had to get out of the house. When Dad was done working we decided to take a walk up to Fry's and purchase a new external CD-R for Mom (a whole different story). Rooney seemed pretty thrilled to be getting out of the house and was absolutely wonderful on the walk. I snapped a few pictures of him in his winter gear. We used his Bundle Me from last winter in his stroller. He only 1/2 fit into it now but I think it kept his tootsies pretty warm.
