Port out, snow continues

This morning at 5:30 am Gregorio took Isabella to the hospital for surgery. It was pretty cold and icy out there. Gregorio and I were comatose at that hour, Isabella was alert and excited, she was getting her port out. A quick bit of shoveling to clear the tracks from our driveway and they were off. All went smoothly and they were back home having breakfast by 11.

Isabella has been relaxing at home, watching the TV with Mati - no school for both of them again today. No school tomorrow either, they haven't been at school since last Thursday and the way things are going it is unlikely they will be going back this week and then it is half term!

In case you missed the news, Washington DC received an historic amount of the white stuff, as predicted last Friday and Saturday. Somewhere in the region of 25-30 inches. We have dug ourselves out but the roads are still a mess. And now as I write this, the next snow storm has begun, a few hours later than they advised but it is set to snow till tomorrow evening and bring a mere 10-20 inches this time.

Sunday and Monday were beautiful sunny days. We had lots of fun playing in the snow. Needless to say lots of cooking and eating has been going on the past 5 days, think we deserved it after shoveling 2 feet of snow and walking up our street (hard enough without snow!)

Lots of love,
Emma & Gregorio. xxx
