Extreme Weather Days 2009

Okay, it has been a little chilly here in Illiniois, so I got to stay home from work for yet another two days. The high temperature yesterday was 0 degrees (that's actual temperature, not wind chill). Apparently last night it got down to -17, with a windchill of around -40 at times. We have a ton of pictures and video clips to put on here from the last month or so, but we haven't quite gotten around to it. I will put a picture of Ethan at the top of this page from our road trip to Georgia (for Christmas). We convinced him to wear the headphones that came with the DVD player in the van for the first time (after 9 months), and of course he picked a movie that we all wanted to hear ("Elf"). Anyway, I couldn't resist taking a picture of him engrossed in the movie and chowing down on a powdered doughnut.
