Flashback: Snow Storm 2010

Back in February when Scarlett was just a few weeks old, we had a major snow storm in Dallas that coincided with a visit from Papa Tig and Mimi. "How fun -- Scarlett's first snow!" I thought. Little did I know that it would also be Scarlett's first massive power outage. We basically lived like pioneer people for THREE WHOLE DAYS. Well, like pioneer people with a car and great friends down the road with electricity (and hot showers and a warm house) who let us crash there to warm up as needed.

The scene outside really was incredible. Here's the front yard.



Backyard.



Driveway. (Chris's car narrowly avoided those fallen branches.)



Looking west on Colorado.



Sweet Scarlett stayed nice and warm snuggled in her Lamby in the kitchen with the gas burners going (everything in the house is electric except for the stove). Look at that smile! Don't you wonder what she's dreaming about?



Papa Tig checks out his grandbaby.



Mimi and Scarlett watch Chris cutting fallen branches in the driveway.



Scarlett and her Daddy check out the snow drifts on the front porch.



Winnie is glad she's not a pioneer dog.



Snuggling by candlelight.



It was quite the adventure, but next time we're going to a hotel!
