Good Morning All!

I am late once again; having (finally) begun my Christmas cards very early this morning.

I have so much 'catching up' to do, not only with this Christmas preparedness, but online too.

First of all to let you know that, for the most part, we are shoveled/plowed out. Sam (my little Miss Valeries' daddy), got here around 3:45 with the plow and only got a bit stuck once! hehehe
But it is safe to be going out and coming back in the yard anyway... He even plowed out the mailbox; (the mailman is such a wuss if there is snow anywhere there)...

.

.

Every time Casey tried to make a snow angel, the dogs went and messed it up.
hehehe
Here she is giving them a stern talking-to about staying put.
(It didn't work)...

.

.

Milly had to go to her kennel, and Punk indoors before it was "safe" to make another angel. Casey will have to blog about her snow angel!

But before that, Miss Millys kennel needed to be shoveled out...

.

.

I have never seen this much snow in there; and all the way in.
.

Miss Milly has a roof on her kennel, and it is enclosed on 2 sides.
There was snow on the sheltered side of the roof of her house!!!

.

.

Milly watched from a distance, and Punk watched close enough for a picture.

.

Wishing she had opposing thumbs to help me shovel I'm sure...
(How CAN that possibly be warm enough to lay on anyway)???

.

.

Milly decided that she didn't want to be back in her kennel and promptly took off for the woods. (Punk impatiently watched her go).
But she came back soon enough...
Too much excitement in the yard I guess; (if you're a dog anyway)!

Casey shoveled and shoveled- It was SO heavy. She dug out in front of the garage for me... All that is hard work, and now we are wondering if anyone is hungry?

.

.

Unlike you Folks in Texas that can actually locate your grills year round,
I was having a problem finding mine!
hehehe

.

.

.

But all is not "Snow~News" either.

My niece, my RubyBlue, had her baby boy last Wednesday morning! He is absolutely most gorgeous. Babies never cease to amaze me that something so very tiny is so very alive and already has personality plus! How precious is that!!!

.

.

Please CLICK HERE to congratulate her! Her hubby, Peter, is still in India, but had sent a package to arrive exactly on time for Tanya and the baby!

Master Harman arrived exactly to the day of their first wedding anniversary!
Perfect!

.

.

CaseyAnne and I went to the hospital to meet Tanyas new son. And I even got to hold him!

.

He is not even half a day old yet!

.

.

Sadly, I had to hand him back too...
.
.
hehehe
Well, soon as he started fussing!
.

Just kidding!!! He wasn't fussy one little bit; but the nurse insisted he was hungry.
Darned nurses...
My own motto is such that if a baby is asleep, you leave them that way!

Of course I gave birth to 4 of those noisy little humans; so it came as no surprise that by the time Casey, (my #4), came along, she slept on the couch for 8 hours before she awoke. That, when she was less than a day old too.

.

Hmmm... Come to think of it, she STILL sleeps just fine on the couch.

.

As does Miss Punk!
hehehe

Hope you are all having a wondrous Monday!
