Allison, Maria, and I are now in Pittsburgh for the baby shower on Saturday. We brought Gabru, our dog, but left the cats behind in Brooklyn. It snowed off and on during the drive, but the drive was very smooth, except that Maria and Allison spent 15 minutes in Fatburger waiting for a chocolate milkshake.
There is a lot of snow on the ground here which I really like. My in-laws house is in full pre-shower mode. Two big platters of cookies arrived during dinner. Tomorrow, we have been asked to limit our time in the house which basically means leave at 11:30 and don't come back till you really have to. Further updates await.
