Blizzard 2011

Hey Bear-

So you may not know this, but your mom and i have been pretty much stuck in the house for 3 days, along with everyone else in Tulsa. Monday night, Jan 31st it started snowing while your mom and i were out. We had decided to hit the grocery store at 11pm and were driving home when it started, and it kept snowing  most of the next day Feb 1, it was pretty crazy. I left the house around 9am to rescue our friend Jessica Willey who was working at starbucks and had been stranded at work, and it was nuts. It was only 4 miles away but it took 2 hours and 20 miles to get her. There were cars stranded everywhere, one had even caught on fire. Snow plows were stuck, semi trucks everywhere... just ridiculous. It ended up snowing an Oklahoma record 14". The entire city shut down. No stores open, school was cancelled for 4 days straight. So now its Thursday, I took Jessica home yesterday, and mom went to work for a little bit, so I spent some time working on your room, sanding trim and baseboards. I'm looking forward to teaching you how to do some of those things. I'm also looking forward to the snow melting so i can get outside and run around. you can only watch so many movies...

Last night you were kicking in your momma's belly. It was super cool. Every day i get more and more excited to see you. I can't wait to kiss your little feet, to hold your little hands, and wipe your little butt..

Love you son
Dad
