Back to School

After nearly six full weeks of Christmas break, I finally started school back up on Tuesday. I have officially begun my final semester! However, as soon as school started back up, Mother Nature had a response in the form of a rather good sized snow storm that hit us with about six inches of snow, then topped it off with an afternoon, evening and night of freezing rain. The snow, I don't mind, but the freezing rain is wretched. It made me very happy to have a garage to park the car in so that the doors were not frozen shut this morning. 

Due to the snow storm, UMass campus was closed yesterday, and this morning. Classes will not resume until 11 a.m. Suzy and I have a friend who is tracking the school closures / delays on her blog. The current score is 3 school closures and 3 delays, while Church has had 1 cancelled and 2 delayed and shortened schedules. Yesterday, we decided to keep Suzy home from work as well to keep me company and so she did not have to drive through the storm. 

Suzy is only 10 days away from her due date. Once we get through the end of this week, we will both be ready for our little girl to arrive -- hopefully sooner rather than later. Suzy is getting larger, at least to me, even though most people comment on how small she looks. We will post a picture as soon as I can talk her into letting me take one.
