Merry Christmas!

Blizzards and babies.

I just got home from work this morning. My first overnight at the hotel. We've fallen victim to one of the worst blizzards in recent memory. The winds have been the worst part here in the springs, with the drifts they produce. Highway 25 (the highway) has been closed from Denver to New Mexico, and the governor has declared a state of emergency in several areas.

I worked until 11 last night, and then went to my room. I stayed in our most humble room, known as a shower queen. Our queen rooms only have a shower, and do not have the bathtub. While 2 people might be cramped in the room, I found it to be perfect for me. I had a city view, and with the snowstorm, it was beautiful. It was hard to be away from the family for the night, but Sarah and I both felt that it was safest. About 25 of us stayed over, and were able to be up and at 'em this morning. I sent myself home this morning, and after talking to my boss who is working tonight, I probably won't have to come in tonight. The rest is welcome.

This morning, Kiah opened his first gift of the holiday season.


He really enjoyed the paper. Here's a picture of him wearing it as a hat. The gift was a present from one of our good friends Evan Wolfe who gave him a crunchy, squishy ball. Kiah likes it very much, and especially likes the tag.

Well, that's it for now. Peace out.
