Snow in Birmingham!



Pearson's first snow. I know our neighbors thought about calling DHR as we took pictures of Pearson in the snow. Sorry they aren't closer up.

The media can definitely create a frenzy. In Alabama news stations create excitement and chaos out of inclement weather. The Pig benefited as everyone ventured out to stock up on milk, canned goods, and other warm snacks to enjoy. Also hardware stores and sporting goods stores carrying sleds finally emptied the inventory!

Now I will take a shot at the national media and their desire to create frenzy in the hearts of Americans... they choose to continue to use the dreaded "R" word... as Darrell says, "stop saying it"... Recession! Yes! People we have had one month of decline and the media wants everyone to know we are in a Recession. On Sunday, Ben Stein said that it takes 6 solid months of a decline to become a true recession. So come June we may be in a recession, that means we will have to hear the "R" word for 6 more months. The power of the media!

I think the media will also have Hilary Clinton leading a civil rights march right into the White House just in time to stop the glaciers in Greenland from overflowing the earth!

Those are great pictures. How fun that Pearson gets to see snow! One day he will long for snow and get to miss school!! Just be glad we are not in Vermont with Natalie! I can't imagine how she deals with the snow.

Hey Laura, Pearson is so cute and looks so snuggly in his snow suit: ). If y'all want to see more snow come and visit us!! We have lots of snow, and it's so sad, we live in "snowland" and Emma Raines hates the snow!! The next big snow we have I'm going to take her sledding and maybe she will like it then: )! I hope y'all are doing good.
