SNOW!!!

Once again, the snow comes AFTER valentines... but.... no.... Global Warming doesn't exist...
Either way... here's what we woke up to this morning, in Brooklyn!!!!
This first one is out the hallway window, before I even stepped out into it...
and it was still coming down!!!!
This is our street.... covered in snow.

This is what happened when I stepped off of our stoop... my feet sunk into the FOOT of snow on the ground and my feet disappeared!!!!!

It really was beautiful and it just kept coming... I had to go into the city and when I got back to our neighborhood a few hours later, parents were already getting the kids to shovel the sidewalks...
not always the most helpful... I'd hate to own that car!!!
Walking home was easier though, because by this point the was about a foot and a half of snow on the unshoveled ground!!!!
Anyway, we love and miss you all.
Look after yourselves and, as always, we love and miss you all so much!!!!

SUPER BOWL!!!!!

For those of you who don't believe that Daniel would ever get excited about a SPORT, here is photographic evidence....
And for those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, last weekend was the superbowl. The Underdogs, The NEW YORK GIANTS, were playing the Undefeated record-breaking New England Patriots. New York was expected to loose by almost everyone and for much of the game they were... but...
well, they aren't Giants for nothing...
The day started calmly enough here at our NEW APARTMENT and over the hours became more tense and emotional... All in all, an AMAZING day, though.


Yes, folks, that IS Daniel wearing a NY Giants hat AND shirt!!!

So, that's our new apartment and a very happy boy!!!!
I must say, even I got into it... It was a really fun day!!!

Until SOMEONE (Daniel) spilled icey cold beer down my back!!!
I think this was still the beer but I like to claim that I TOO got into the game and here, I was CHEERING!!!!
Our friend Kara - the poor dear is a Patriots fan...

And... here it comes...
The Giants score!!!!
And it looks like they'll win... but then
the Patriots score and it looks grim... but we had the ball, we had the power, all we needed was for Eli to throw it downfield!!!!!
And as an anxious New Yorker (former Australian) watched in Brooklyn....
Eli throw the ball!!!! AND IT'S A TOUCHDOWN!!!!!
The NEW YORK GIANT HAVE WON THE SUPERBOWL!!!!!!!
Daniel could sleep a happy man!!!!
Honestly, I don't know what planet he's come from or what he's done with my Aussie Husband, Daniel, but this was a SIGHT to behold, let me tell YOU!!!!
I knew the story would not be believed without photographic evidence...
We send our love and miss you all!!!!
