Winter Wonderland
Not sure who ordered all this snow, but I am glad I made it to Chicago and just barely beat the snow. I still hit the early part of the storm so it took me over 4 hours to get there. Anyhow, I made it safely and Novali was excited to see me. Check out the pics of my car in the snow.

Curbside drifts were as high as my windows!

As I opened my doors they cleared snow out like a plow.

Because of the weather we really could not go and do anything. So we just stayed in, ate Fruit Loops, ordered Pizza, and watched a lot of movies. Of course that means, Monsters Inc. and lots of Shrek. I did finally get to see Napoleon Dynamite, which was hilarious. Novali alos put on a show as she sang, at the top of her lungs, the intro song of Shrek 2. If you have never seen a three year old sing "Accidentally in Love" at the top of her lungs... I highly recommend it. I wanted to get a video of her singing, but she refused. It was too cute.

I had fun playing her letter game with her that she loves so much, as well as her memory game. My parents sent some gifts for her, and she loved the Snowman pen and doggie paper, she started to draw on it right away. She also recognized everyone in the pictures they sent as well. She was very excited. Her memory is getting very good. She knows a lot of her letters now as well, looks like that letter game is really working.

Making the letter T, for Tamara.

Her Strawberry Shortcake game.

Wrestling with Papi... man she is getting heavy.

Most of the weekend was spent bundled up watching movies.

Speaking of snow, yes I do hate having to uncover my car. I do like snow many other times though, my dad emailed me some pictures from when we were in Saginaw. I love this picture of Novali and I in Gladwin and would love a print version (hint, hint...).

Now I am back in Michigan, just got in and I had to park my car in the street cause my driveway is complete covered in snow. I got to run out and shovel now... Blah.

My faithful readers know that this week is going to be very tense for me. With fraternity judicials in limbo, wrapping up the diversity program, helping with housing issues in the wake of staffing changes, working on the Whose Who stuff, planning a real transitioning program for my councils, and not to mention that little thing called Panhellenic Formal Recruitment. Ah...

Hopefully though after this week things will slow down, but I bet you heard that from me before...
