I had a restless night trying to sleep. I promised Autmn I would pick her and Cameron up this morning and I was concerned with the snow forecast. I got up, changed bed sheets and washed them, and printed out my bank statement. The printer still isn’t working right and keeps jamming. But I did finally get it printed, just in time to leave for Mt. Pleasant.

Persnickety printer.

Just as I left it started to snow the big heavy flat flakes. The road from here to Route 119 South were snow covered and appeared to be dicey. Once I hit Mt. Pleasant, though, it was just rain and above freezing. I didn’t hurry driving but we made good time back home. As soon as we got back in the door it turned to snow again and within minutes everything was covered. The snow/salt truck went through and the roads appeared clear. While Autmn was feeding Cameron (and it had stopped snowing again) I bundled up and went outside and shoveled and salted the driveway. Also changed the front flag from New Year’s to Winter.

Just starting to snow again – but home safe!

Cameron had been up most of the night, too, so Autmn took a nap while Cameron and I were upstairs playing on the floor. I turned on ‘Mares eat Oats’ and he listened to it and ‘sang’ along for about 20 minutes. He also liked my stuffed cow pillow and spent a good deal of time talking to that and singing. They just left for home, and the house always feels quiet without baby noises!
