Winter Storm

They cancelled school for today - austinites are deathly afraid of driving when the temperature drops below 32 degrees and there is a remote possibility of snow or ice.  There is no snow, no ice.  My dentist appointment is cancelled since everyone in the office has kids so they are stuck at home with them.  Stella's therapy session is also cancelled.  It's 40 degrees and sunny outside.  Yeesh!

Wes had a hard time getting home yesterday - after several cancelled flights, he decided to fly to Dallas, rent a car and drive home.   That made for a very loooooong day.  He sat on the plane for 2 hours while it was de-iced (twice) then sat in awful traffic on I-35 from Dallas to Austin.  And he couldn't come straight home - he had to go to the Austin airport and pick up his car.  Then he got to sit in rush hour traffic to get home.  Poor guy.  I'm just glad he made it home.

Luckily, KK can work today so she is here and Wes and I hope to get some busy work done - knock out our taxes, do some electrical investigating (some of our plugs aren't working and we can't find the GFCI to reset them), and have lunch together.


Reese loves doing dot-to-dots.

We spend a lot of time at (or on) the kitchen.

The coping for the pool has arrived.  They take a measurement by the pool, walk up the hill to the front yard to cut a single piece, then haul it back down to lay it in place.  These guys are getting a work-out.

The pool pump was delivered and assembled and they dug a trench for the electrical cords.  I'm hoping the pool electrician comes today so I can steal him to look at our indoor issue.
