Welcome to the Jungle!!!! This is one of Izzy's hideouts. She thinks that we can't see her when she goes behind my plant. She also loves to lay on the table in the reading room. I think she likes having the sun on her and looking outside.  

Here she is, Izzy!! This is the new addition to our family. Her name is Isabelle, Izzy for short. She is 2yrs old and is the color Tortie. Can you beleive we have a pet, let alone a CAT!!!! It all started with a little trip to PetSmart for some fish Mitchell wanted. Scott new he should have never taken us to the pet store. We got Izzy from a shelter in the area. Anyone who knows us, knows Scott is allergic to cats. He is doing well. Doesn't seem to have any reactions to her. I do keep it pretty clean around the house for him. Izzy is very playful and gentle with everyone. She has such a great personality. She loves to sleep all day and play at night. She is sooooooo cute and such a little sweetie.  

Looks like we could have a few more trees fall............What do you think? Some are already on their way. I'm thinking that we are going to be in here this spring with chainsaw in hand, again! Fun, Fun, Fun!!!

It was all beautiful until we saw this! The top of a tree fell onto the trampoline. What else, but a Pine! Scott did go out later that day with chainsaw in hand, cut it up and removed it from the trampoline. Luckily, the jumping surface was not punctured. But....the frame was damaged and the safety net was torn up pretty bad. I can't imagine my kids without a trampoline. So, hopefully when we thaw out, we can inspect it and see if we can save it. Continued until next blog posting........................ 

And so the fun begins! Dad even got into the mix. He was using his snowman building abilities.  

It's our first snowfall of 2006. Finally in February we get snow! It is only the second snowfall of this winter. What a beautiful sight to wake up too. When all was said and done, we accumulated 6-8 inches.
