katie, ben and lucy

It’s cold here in Houston.  I know, those of you who live further North would say that I have nothing to complain about.  I would in turn respond that you choose to live there (where it is supposed to be cold) and I choose to live here (where I don’t have to shovel driveways, salt sidewalks or scrape windshields).

Lucy needed a warm coat, and Kate went shopping for one today.  It is a little big right now, but hopefully it will fit just right when we make a trip to Virginia in a few months.  Lucy still fits into her newborn / infant carseat, but with that puffy jacket, it was a tight squeeze.  For now, we’ll call all of that padding a little extra protection for Lucy in case her dad gets into a wreck while driving through a school zone, eating a cheeseburger, talking on the cell phone, changing a CD, and rudely gesturing at other drivers who are honking just because he’s in the wrong lane.
