And yet MORE snow!

This past weekend, Brian's mother managed to escape the frozen tundra of Western Kentucky and stay with us until her power was restored. I'm sure she was thrilled to spend the time with Eliza, although I think she was terribly concerned about her freezer full of potentially rotting food.

Brian's sister came from Louisville to hang out, as well. We tried Old Chicago and Brian had his first ever taste of deep dish pizza. Can you even imagine? I managed to mostly behave myself and have a burger and raw veggies. It's tough 'cause Chicago style pizza is my favorite.

After that we went to the bookstore. Brian's Mom bought Eliza a few books. Here she is checking one out.



While perusing the relationship section, I happened upon these relationship quiz games. They're little test booklets that are supposed to tell you how well you know your spouse. I decided to pick them up for fun. Brian and I both scored in the remedial level, but Brian beat my score by over 100 points. I think it was rigged. The husband questions were all moral/ethical "what would he do" questions. The wife questions were all about favorite department stores and pieces of clothing. Half of them I couldn't have even given an answer for and Brian still got them right. The questions I had to answer were much harder. Just like the SAT is racist (like Shaq said in the movie Blue Chips), I think these tests were sexist.

Sunday we went out and watched the Super Bowl while Brian's Mom sat with Eliza. I think the Cardinals got jobbed by the officials, we we still had a good time. Eliza had some sweet potatoes while we were out. I think baby food is officially on the daily menu now. My aunt fed her the rest of the jar last night. She didn't want the spoon, she was trying to grab the WHOLE jar.

Brian's Mom's power was restored and she headed home yesterday. Eliza decided to be a lazy baby and take an extra long nap. She earned it.

Today we went outside to check out the current blanket of snow. At the time it was snowing more huge snowflakes and Eliza didn't really know what to make of it. At least it was an excuse to get her out in the snowsuit again.






I'm always up for a good snow storm, but I'm glad this wasn't the serious weather event that was first predicted. Still too many people without power. Hope everyone is holding up well and that most of you have your power back!
