DC & environs received our first snow of the season yesterday. In fact, we got a whole heckuva lot more than the Weather Dudes anticipated. Let's just put it this way: There's more of the white stuff blanketing the ground in DC, which is supposedly in a "temperate" zone, than in Madison, Wisconsin, where Ella Numera Una is about to sit for her first round of law school exams....

Thought I'd do a Thanksgiving Roundup, of sorts, since I'm thankful for so much these days... First off, I'm thankful that I found the above Superior Snap, just in time for the I *Heart* Faces I *Heart* Tooshies Contest. Pictured above are Ella Numera Dos & Robert John Burke, also known in NYC as The Naked Cowboy. Yes, the young man earns in the 6 figures every year, posing in almost...

... spirited sousaphonist, above. Yeah, I know all y'all call that horn a tuba, but you're wrong-O! Ella Numera Dos' last photo project before breaking for Thanksgiving involved a Green Bay Packers' theme. Entitled "Hometown Pride," her portfolio included 19 Superior Snaps such as this one, featuring what she terms "the craziness" of being a Green Bay Packers' fan....

... matter now. What mattered then was getting the almost-10-month-old to the emergency room. Quick. Ella Numera Una was a pull-up girl. Well, yes, she did graduate to Pull-Ups when she left diapers behind. But shortly after she learned to crawl, she started hoisting herself up to the standing position.

May you live long and prosper! Ella Numera Una & the BF are celebrating 3 years together this weekend. Y'all may remember him from previous posts~with his head in the downtown stockade, flaunting his Flower Power, or dressed as Oscar the Grouch. The chica keeps giving me a hard time. I've got snaps of My Peeps thru the years on the antique desk upstairs, but have yet to add The BF...

... bullet from an automatic rifle to do his dirty work-started leaving creepy, taunting notes behind. Ella Numera Una played high school field hockey. The team, obviously, couldn't practice outside. So all the fall sports-field hockey, football, cross country, volleyball-tried to share limited gym space. The trackies made loops in the school's corridors. Indoor practices went until 10,...
