All Shnuggled In

We've staying cozy at home today. The weather forecasters predicted an apocalyptic ice storm today and the government was on unscheduled leave, so Ry decided to stay home. The storm didn't live up to the hype, but better to be safe than sorry.

Last week we had a big ice storm that shut down all the roads and some people were stranded on the highways for 8 hours. Ry usually takes the bus home, but luckily I caught the news in time to tell Ry to catch the train instead.

Ry got an email from the bus company the next morning apologizing to their customers and notifying them that in case of future delays, bus drivers have the discretion to allow customers to get off the bus and urinate by the side of the road if necessary. How comforting.

Ry's dad had such a hard time getting home, he pulled off the highway and went to the library for a couple hours until things cleared up. At least they have a bathroom in the library!

So Tess got some more dad time in today. She loves being with her dad. Tess been practicing holding her head up and was showing off for him today. Her head is still a bit wobbly, but she's come a long way.

Yesterday Tess and I spent a fun day with Nana. We went out to lunch and then had some fun at the mall. We went to a gazillion baby stores and looked at all the fun new stuff for spring. We also did some shopping for a care package that Wendy was putting together for someone in her ward.

Later that afternoon Wendy had the little neighbor boy over for a bit and we were trying to teach him Tess's name. When we asked him who the baby was, he responded: "Baby Jesus." I don't know why I hadn't considered that name for her. Evidently I'm not the only one who thinks she's a pious-looking baby!
