Brrrr...its cold outside

Ah yes, beautiful winter time in Chicago! It actually hasn't been so bad this year - some minus 20 degree wind chill days but not much snow and even its gotten above freezing several days. We did get plenty of snow this week though - over a foot of snow in the last 36 hours - see below some pics of the snow on our street, children with their sleighs in the park and the frozen lake shore with the city in the background. The photo of Biz however is not from Chicago - that's a picture from Limerick city in Ireland over Xmas believe it or not - it was a white Xmas in Ireland this year for the first time in many many years. Eoin is happily oblivious to the winter - he isn't getting out much these days but it does give him plenty of time to practice his crawling! Stay warm!
