It snowed. Like, six inches of snow. The garbage truck never came. Schools are closed. The Washington coast is under a blanket of white and nothing’s moving. Good thing we had already cancelled our plans to travel for Thanksgiving.

Since we didn’t lose power along with mobility, I will be writing and baking through the week and kids will keep making snow angels and snow men and adding to the list of possible baby names. “Jessica! Jack!”

If you’re traveling this week, stay safe.
