Recap: Our First St. Louis Winter

When we first moved to St. Louis we made one rule - we're not going to compare anything to California or Cayman. That rule served us really well...until our first ice storm (see pics below.) We had friends and family telling us it would be a good idea to buy a weeks worth of food because a storm was on its way. We've lived through storms before and thought everyone just needed to relax a little bit...this ain't the Rockies. Welp, after about our 5th day without electricity we were clearer about what our well intentioned friends meant by "storm." Fortunately, we had a wood burning stove in the basement to keep us warm...and an old monopoly game to occupy our thoughts.

Here are a few pics from our first winter in San Louie:

You guys all look great. It appears that the Midwest agrees with you. I can't believe how BIG Reagan is getting. I guess that happens! We miss you terribly, but I'm glad to hear it's going so well out there! Stay in touch!!
