Snow Day

We currently have about a foot of snow on the ground and this picture is of John and our neighbors Ian and Derek digging the cars out. Today it is really cold but soon we will be flying south for less snowy weather. We are leaving tomorrow, December 19th and arriving in Charlotte. We will then drive to visit my parents in Virginia until December 26th. We will then drive to Cleveland, TN to stay with John's parents till January 3rd. We will then drive to Charlotte again and hopefully stay with my brother James (James, if you are reading this...can we spend the night?). We fly out on January 5th. If anyone is going to be around any of those places while we are there...contact us and we can get together.

Happy Birthday

All is well in the Hutchins household. Yesterday Eleanor celebrated her 2nd Birthday party with several of her friends. I made her a pink cake (her fathers favorite) and the party was a dress up party, although, Eleanor didn't want to dress up. She looked forward to it all day and had a blast. She was afraid of the lit candle so I had to blow it out for her. After we cleaned up and we were getting ready to go she turned to John and said in a very grown up way, "I am so tired!".
