Winter Wishes

Mr. Weatherman did not disappoint...we woke up to a beatiful white winter wonderland. After seeing pictures of Grandpa Larry's enormous snow piles, Benjamin has been wishing for snow. We got lucky! Here's proof...





Benjamin doesn't know how lucky he is...his Mommy & Daddy were too tired to help him build a snowman AND participate in a snowball fight so guess who happily volunteered to participate??!! Nana & Papa. They are simply wonderful & our boy went to bed tonight with many happy memories of our snow day in 2011.

1 year ago...February 2010

I can't believe the changes a year brings.

Bundle up & stay warm!

Our Snow Day

I didn't have to tell Benjamin what was going on outside. I just opened the miniblinds & he raced to my side, "I have to call Grandpa Larry cuz it's snowing today!" It has been an exciting day for my oldest boy. Trevin endured the pictures outside & then was happy to be back inside our cozy, warm house. We are having a snow day here...relaxing at home, doing a few chores, but mainly looking out the window and enjoying this little bit of winter.

{p.s. Thank you, Mr. Snowman, for your visit to day! Tomorrow you can go back up north to Grandpa Larry's house. I'm ready for the weather we had 2 days ago - mid 70s & sunny!}

Snow!

Yes, we actually saw snow today. Some parts south of us got quite a bit more, but we enjoyed sitting by the window & watching it fall silently from the sky. Benjamin was overjoyed.

This is the only snowman we saw today - he was pretty cute.

Trevin will be 3 months on Monday - how is that possible??!!

Trying out some interesting color settings on my camera

Don't laugh - those white specks are snowflakes. Benjamin told his Daddy on the phone at noon today, "When you get home we can build a snowman!" We had to change expectations just a bit. Of course, I'm sure this is what Benjamin had in mind. Sorry buddy.

"Look, Mommy, here's some snow!"

Keep warm & have a great weekend,
