Ellie Two Tooth now has three, but Ellie Three Tooth doesn’t sound as good. Here she is getting dressed to go outside.

It is weird weather for February.. lightning and thunder when it is normally snow. What started as freezing rain has turned into a summer storm with heavy rain, hail and lots of lightning! It could be a soggy Snow Camp this weekend.

We started February with almost no snow. However, last weekend, Owen Sound was hit by a massive snow storm that gave us around 3 feet of heavy, wet snow. It was so heavy I broke my shovel trying to get our van out! It also knocked out power for a lot of people for up to four days. Also down was our internet provider. When they got their power back, they discovered a number of failed equipment.. long story to say that this morning is the first time we have had access to the internet and email since last Saturday. That is a long time when you don’t have television and your only other source of news is the radio.

To appease the relatives, here is a new video of Ellie (two flavours: small 5.6 MB or large 11 MB)

Naomi’s brother came down to visit on the spur of the moment a couple weeks ago. We had a busy, but good, time together. He and Ellie got better acquainted and we were able to visit with some relatives a few hours away.
