El Nino?

I remember when I was a kid and there was any sort of weird weather pattern, it seemed like it was always blamed on El Nino. I don't know what is going on here in New Hampshire, but this is what it looked like this past weekend.



That's right, Christian is shielding his eyes from the bright sun. Please notice the exposed grass and the driveway without one flake of snow or ice. It is FEBRUARY and this is totally unheard of! The only time we have had to use the snow blower this winter was on Halloween! It was so pleasant outside that both Ryan and I took our cars out to give them a thorough cleaning. I took this picture to document not only the rare event of me cleaning my car, but the crazy easy winter we are having!
We leave for a visit to sunny Arizona next week to visit Jeff and Kelly. We planned this trip last year when we were in the throws of a brutal winter. We figured we would need an escape by about now. While we are SO looking forward to 70 degree weather and playing outside, it has not been that bad at all. I am taking an extended vacation by flying with the tots up to Sactown after Ryan flies home from Phoenix. We are so pumped to see cousins, Grandma, Grandpa, aunts, uncles, the whole Evers crew! See you all in a few weeks!
