Sleepy puppy

We've been able to take Guinness out to the yard quite a bit (at least a few times per day), and he's loving it. It's kind of EXTRA exercise for him right now, because the snow is so deep that it's really quite a workout to try to run in it! McGee and I get exhausted even just trying to walk around in it. And I'm so awkward in my winter boots that if I try to run in that deep snow, I end up just tripping and falling! I don't know how Guinness runs so well in that deep snow... We're loving that it makes him oh-so-tired though!  It's really great. He spends a LOT of time napping now, and he's so gosh-darn cute when he sleeps! I thought I'd share some pictures of our little (big) guy doing his new favorite activity.

Please excuse the mess in this one!  We're still working on unpacking everything and getting organized. Having dog toys everywhere is quite normal for us though... That part won't change anytime soon.

We're supposed to get MORE snow tonight - another 1-3", which at this point is nothing. Last year that 3" would have been about half of our total for the season... But this winter is just ridiculous. And it really feels like all McGee and I have done since we moved into this house is shovel snow and ice, because our neighbor (who we share a driveway with) doesn't believe in shoveling. He says he just prefers to drive over everything. So, as a result of him driving over all of the snow and ice all season, we had at least 3 inches of solid ice and compacted snow that we've had to break up and shovel over every square inch of our driveway (and it's a long driveway that leads to the back of the property where we park). Yesterday, McGee was a beast and somehow broke up the ridiculously thick ice that was at the entrance to the driveway (it met up with the street). It was a huge speed bump of slick ice that you had to try to get your car over. We were the only house on the block that had that "speed bump" though, because every other house would just deal with the ice and snow after each storm hit, but we had a whole winter's worth of ice and compacted snow to try to battle. I think now that we're all caught-up on shoveling, we can try to get some more boxes unpacked!  

This weekend I tried to (finally) get my PA Driver's License (yes, I was technically supposed to do that like a year ago... ), so that I can register my car in PA (again, yes, a year ago would've been the appropriate time to do that...). However, the stupid DMV decided to take Saturday off so that they could have an extra-long holiday weekend. Lame. So now I'll have to do that sometime this week (I wish they were open today!) or I'll try again next Saturday. I always dread the whole Driver's License and Car Registration state switch... I've had CA, MD, DE (my DE registration expires in March...), and now I'll have PA. It's never a fun process... But I'll be sooo glad when it's done and I don't have to worry about it anymore. 

I hope you're all doing well, and I hope you have today off from work too!
