In like a Lion...

Another major snowstorm resulted in a first for the Madsen household, a snow day!  Well, I remembered how great snow days were so I was excited to tell Nolan.  He was very excited to hear the news.  That's the end of the fun stuff.  The rest of the day was him either complaining he was bored, tired or hungry.  We are certain that he's grown about 2 inches in the last month.

The new snow did provide for some fun recreation.  While I tried to work from home Nolan tried to play outside.  Then play inside, then eat, then play outside, then eat, then play inside, well you get the picture.  Anyway, the first snow day is over and Karl and I are excited (and Nolan can't stop talking). 

Other than that all is well here.  We've had a nice winter but it needs to stop now:)  I am very excited about gardening this year and I have a lot of plans for the yard.  After the frost is out we will have our new patio installed and I will be planting some peonies and lilacs, just for a start.  Can't wait to get my hands in the dirt and Karl is very excited to use his new truck to haul stuff. 
Some pictures of our recent activities:

The new truck...my only request was heated seats.  They work great!

Nolan on honor roll, twenty weeks in a row!  We're super proud. 

This is the great neighborhood we live in.  Karl got a little help from the neighbors clearing the driveway this morning.
