Snow in Texas in March?

So we're driving home from New Orleans on Monday night, and its raining the entire way home.

When we get to Mesquite, I notice that the rain is no longer rain, but Snow. Not bad, though, it doesn't seem to be sticking.

20 minutes or so later, we're in Plano, and that's where it starts to get interesting. Snow is sticking to the grass, and the roads seem to be getting "slushy". Time to slow down.

15 minutes later, we're passing through McKinney. As soon as we're clear, all traffic comes to a standstill. The snow is coming down hard. Cars all around us are coated with it. We are stuck on Central Expressway for almost an hour! And this is March!!! Take that, Al Gore!!

We finally made it home around 12:30 in the morning, and this is what we found in our front yard.

UPDATE: All the snow melted on Tuesday, but on Thursday, we got more! And on Friday it all melted again, though there are rumors we'll get more this weekend. Global Warming, sheesh! Give me a break.

Growing up more every day

Last week we loaded up the car, and took a road trip to New Orleans to attend the wedding of one of Melissa's old friends.
This also happened to be the first time Luke had been on a road trip, so we took the time to visit many of Melissa's family and friends, many of whom had never seen the baby before.
Melissa's aunt, Melissa, who is quite a gifted photographer in her spare time, also managed to take quite a few excellent pictures of Luke. Here are some of my favorites.
