SNOW and Week 37 belly shot

Whew, what a week!!  We are going on day #9 of extremely unusual winter weather.  We have more than a foot of snow and it’s not melting anytime soon!  Last week really wasn’t so bad compared to what arrived this weekend, but I ended up having to work from home two days and Burke’s office was closed one day.  Friday was my last official day of work before maternity leave began but I still have a project I am finishing up so hope to make it into the office a bit next week.  Burke’s office was closed today and we are hoping tomorrow, too.  After being very cautious about venturing outside the house with my big belly, I finally had enough and convinced Burke to take me out on a walk today.  We walked for about an hour and a half (slowly!).  It’s so beautiful out!  I loved seeing all the people out skiing and snowshoeing and sledding and walking.  There are hardly any cars on the roads.  If Burke stays home tomorrow, I hope that we can take another long walk and enjoy this snow before it melts.  They say the last time Portland had this much snow was 1980, and that this might end up ranking in the top 10 snowstorms of all time.  My mom has been in Denver with Jennifer and Mike this past week and was supposed to get back Sunday evening.  No surprise that her flight was cancelled.  She’s now scheduled to arrive Tuesday night and we really hope it works out so that we can celebrate Christmas together.  Otherwise we will put off our Christmas festivities until she is back!

Here are some more pictures of our backyard and our neighborhood from our walk today.
