Let It Snow

Milwaukee's first major snowfall of 2006 is upon us. It was so bad in fact, that I pulled the ever so famous move of "working from home." Normally that's cause for ridicule, but in this case I believe it's warranted. It appeared that I was in the majority on that based on the emails that were flying around work yesterday.

It not only marked the first snowfall of '06 but the first snowfall overall for Olive. Needless to say, she was quite confused when we went outside in the morning. She wanted none of it and walked cautiously around surveying the area. "Where did my dumping ground go?!" (pun intended) I could almost hear her saying out loud.Of course after going outside a few times she was quite used to it and managed to get back into her routine. We did have a nice father-daughterpug day though. While working, of course, we watched Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, The Bourne Supremacy and even pulled out the old dusty Playstation. Yea, that's right, Playstation ONE because that's how we do..old school baby.

After our bonding time, which ended abruptly when Kirsten got home from work. She can't do the whole "work from home" thing when it snows since the clinic she works at is literally two blocks away. Anyway, the snow had stopped so we put our pre-planned, um, plan into action and went and picked up the 2006 version of the DeGroot Christmas Tree.

Another surprise for Olive. "What are you doing bringing one of those in the house?! Oh wait, nevermind, I like it. Another thing for me to chew on just to annoye you. Nice"

So we survived the first major snowfall and the holiday season is upon us. Enjoy it and I hope you all get lots of nice stuff since that's what Christmas is all about.
