After our wonderful weekend in St. Louis/Edwardsville, we had quite the trek back home. Again, when planning this weekend, we did not expect a blizzard to cover the area and have to drive in it. We went to church with Abby and Alex Sunday morning and there was not much, weather-wise, going on...until we got out. There were already a couple inches on the ground. We ate a quick lunch and got on the road. A drive that should have taken less that 2 hours, took 4 hours. We counted the number of cars off the road (praying we wouldn't be one of them) and came up with 32 cars. It was slow and scary at times, but Jared did a great job bringing us safely home, to our very own winter wonderland! I think when it was all said and done, we ended up with about 13 inches of snow!
Some pictures of our travel...

| Once we got on Interstate 72 at Springfield, it got a lot worse! We wondered if a snowplow had even been on this road yet! |

As you probably already know, Ethan loves the snow. He didn't care that it was March 24 and supposed to be spring! He and Jared went out pretty much right after we got the car unloaded.
