Snowed In, and Out!

From time to time, I really miss Arlington. The energy of the city and the walkability is unreal. But days like yesterday make me really appreciate our wonderful town of Vienna. Taffe was fascinated with all of the big kids sledding and building forts right in our cul-de-sac. You could see on his face the look of , "How do I get to do that too?" And while we did lose power for 24 hours, we are so lucky to live a few miles from our best friends who took us in, as always.
We were one of the thousands of families waiting for a loved one to get home in the disastrous rush hour snow on Wednesday night. It took Christopher 3 hours to drive 3.5 miles. Taffe and I were very anxious and did a million activities to keep us occupied. Taffe really had no idea what was going on, so he enjoyed his painting. He was so into it, and manipulated the brushes is so many ways. My favorite part though was when he laid the brushes down on his paper and said,"Shhhh...Night, night brush!"
Back home safe and sound (with power!).... maybe that was enough snow for the season!
