Ice, ice baby

We are still smarting from the fact that Ian didn't get at least the morning off due to last night's ice storm, but we have been trying new things inside the house today. During baths the girls experimented with ears beneath the surface (we usually don't do it because of ear tubes, but it was worth it just for once). The girls tried a duet, which is somewhat hilarious-sounding because Nora looks like she knows what she's doing sometimes, but a quick listen confirms that she's just playing around and jamming on random keys. We also finished Clementine's Letter, which was a big hit here with the younger set. I did venture outside long enough to take some quick pictures of our ice storm and discern whether it felt too slick still to take a walk in the beauty of it. I almost went flat on our front porch alone, so we may wait a bit for the stroll, but we sure are impressed by nature's beauty even when it's slightly inconvenient.
