We've had quite a bit of snow over the last few weeks (around a foot or maybe a little more), and there hasn't been much of an opportunity for it to melt. The first thing we noticed were the words written on our driveway, "We love the Odyssey." (Ryan is teaching through The Odyssey with his 7th and 8th grade Writing and Literature students.) Then we saw DSCS written in our yard, which is the school Ryan teaches at. Ryan's students who did this also wrote their initials in the snow. It took us a few minutes to realize that they also shoveled our entire driveway and sidewalks. So sweet! I can't imagine how long it took those two sweet girls, but we're very thankful for their service to us.
Poor Wally has had to run out in snow almost up to his stomach every day to go potty. I'm amazed, too, at how big the icicles get that hang from our gutters. Ryan keeps knocking them down with a baseball bat, but there are always more the next day. Here are a couple of other recent snow pictures:

That's really fun that they did that. My Jake LOVES the Odyssey too! Has read various books and versions. I've so grown in my appreciation of ancient Greece this year too!!!
