Copper & Outlaw's Gotcha Day!

Yesterday was Copper & Outlaw’s ‘Gotcha Day’ – before they were named Copper and Outlaw and before I knew they were NOT both girls.

Bare trees were now covered in glistening snow, cars were buried and the streets were cleaned. (The meteorologists said Chicago was well prepared and travel shouldn’t be canceled or worried about. Chicago is great about keeping the streets clear of snow. It’s a perk - unless you get stuck behind one of the many snow plows!) A bunch of us trekked Downtown and had tons of fun.
