We received another snowfall yesterday, and this one produced even more snow than we had earlier in the week. Of course Eli was excited to get outside ASAP and make snowballs and a snowman. Uncle D came over to share in the fun; the three guys built a small snowman on the back porch between their snowball fight(s) while Maddux and I watched from inside. (It was a battlefield outside between the snowballs and the blizzard conditions!) At one point we met up with our neighbors to compare snow stories. Lehr pulled out the garbage can lid in an attempt to make a sled, but the only success story was Eli: both dads made it about a foot down the hill before the sled stopped dead in its tracks. Eli was hesitant to taste the snow, which was one thing Maddux actually enjoyed about the storm. Each time I put a small piece to her mouth, she began to lick like crazy!
What would "Winter Storm 2008" in Georgia be without a disaster, right? Before Eli's nap, the guys were out running an errand and got into a car accident. Lehr and Eli were sitting at a red light and they got struck from behind by a driver who obviously had no intention of stopping, considering her speed at the time of impact. Luckily no one was hurt, but the other car was inoperable. Although there are many scratches and dents on our bumper, a dragging muffler was the worst of our 'injuries'.
