49 of 50 states

There was snow on the ground in 49 of the 50 United States on Friday. It even snowed a little bit in Florida! This snow is the reason that All Delta Airlines flights were canceled on Friday out of Atlanta... causing Craig (Mike's brother), Ellen (our sister-in-law), Grace (niece) & Julia (niece) to miss their flight for a 4 day weekend in Indiana with us. As it turns out, the snow that kept these flights grounded did not even begin until 5 HOURS after their departure time. They were able to get re-booked on a flight for Saturday (yesterday) which was also canceled. We were SO EXCITED for their visit and now we have spent the weekend feeling like this:

We missed you guys this weekend! We hope there is a time soon when you can re-schedule your trip!!!!!!!!!! Hope you were able to have fun playing in the snow in Georgia!!!!!

What a bummer that they weren't able to make it :( I know how hard it is to find 4 days in a row to make a trip. Hopefully they can reschedule. Could you at least Skype with them to make up for it a little?

I love the pictures - Emily looks even more like Whitney when she is crying! We live near Atlanta and we did get quite a bit of snow, I'm so sorry the visit was cancelled. I wouldn't definately be boo-hooing!

Oops - meant to say that I WOULD definately be boo-hooing!

How disappointing! And here I am complaining that our summer hasn't been that hot. Maybe I need to count my blessings ;)

Ellen said...

omg I love those pictures. We were doing a lot of that around here too. Grace actually collapsed in tears and ran to her room to hide under her covers when we told her the news.

Playing in the snow made it seem not so bad. The girls made a "snow brother", and Julia spent a lot of time kissing him--though really I think she was licking dirty snow.

We're hoping for a trip in March during Mercer's spring break. Fingers crossed.

Is it mean to say that I just love pictures of babies/kids crying - I find that so cute! I know what you mean about the snow - everything was canceled here and we barely got a dusting. Now today nothing is closed and it is coming down pretty heavy. Maybe I should become a meterologist! :)

Hopefully Ellen & Craig can reschedule!

I'm sorry your family didn't get to make it in for their visit - that stinks they canceled the flights before the snow was even there!
