It's probably not surprising that since we've welcomed Clare into our world, all my posts seem to focus on her.  :-)   So here's a post that's not about Clare...

Our local schools are canceled today due to the wind chill and blowing snow.  It's not snowing much but the winds are howling and it's only 4 degrees, which makes for a pretty chilly bus stop.  Matt said this is just normal weather in Minnesota, but our kids aren't used to it. 

A good excuse to be a homebody again today.  :-)
