Icicles!

The top story for most of the last weeks has been the weather. More pointedly, the snow! Well, we did not get slammed like DC and that area, but we did get our fair share. The real story here at the Manor is the icicles. Some like I have never seen before (on a normal house, that is). I should have taken pictures of the outside of the house, but I didn't... perhaps later. Here's the view from outside the front window. (and these ice wonders are after we have cleared the stuff off of the guters once or twice before.)

This is an even better picture, taken standing inside peering out of the front door. I haven't measured them, but I am sure we have some that are THREE (3) FEET long. Yes, I'm not kidding.

On to the fun stuff: Zoey...

After much internal debate about cleanliness vs childhoodness... I broke off some of these massive wonders and Zoey and I ate them. Yep, we did.

As a kid, I loved eating the giant icicles that hung from the picnic shelter at Sun Valley. It's a great memory for me. I'd like Zoey to have some fun with winter this year and she's not been out in the snow. That, and I figure the crap from the roof can't be any worse than the crap in our drinking water (don't even get me started on the "local" water here... I'd take city water any day!)

But I digress... Zoey is also teething again. This time it's the EYE teeth. Oh yeah, another big'un! She's been kinda cranky, but dealing with it well.

This video was shot today. It's super cute, if I say so myself. I just LOVE this baby! :)

Enjoy!
