Here is a shot of my dad painting yesterday.

After dinner, which Margaret did an excellent job of making (baked chicken, potatoes, and green beans), our whole family went over to my mom's parents' place to help them set up their living room. They had new carpet installed (by Edwin Miranda) and a new bookcase/small entertainment center that my dad put together. The new set-up is easier for my grandpa. We moved their couch, tables, and chairs back into the room in a new format. Dad and Erin spent a lot of time setting up the TV and wiring. Erin is definitely the go-to guy around our house for anything tech related, and Dad is a pretty close second.

When it was all done, we watched Sandlot, which my mom got for free in the mail that same day (from cereal boxes, I think?). We got home at midnight, following Vinson's car with my dad's 4-wheel drive van because of all the snow.

Here is a shot from the snow today. This is our porch. An hour or two ago we heard that our cousins in the Willow Street area had around 2 feet of snow and it was still snowing. I'm not sure how much we have because it has drifted so much. It has already stopped here, and the boys are out shoveling now. I get the pleasant task of cooking inside for today and tomorrow instead. :-) At the same time, my parents are painting my room. You can see why I'm in no rush to move out on my own!
