Snow Storm of 2011

Not to be confused with the Ice Storm of 2011 (which had us stuck indoors from Tuesday to Thursday last week). The SNOW came Friday morning and continued our indoor House Party. That's right, I had both of my boys in this house with the fire going for FOUR DAYS. The snow was SO beautiful and so much nicer than all that nasty, dangerous ice. We got about 6 inches total - I write this as the snow returned today and we are back indoors watching the local news reporters hyperventilate over the drama yet again and the school districts cancelled school...again! But Beau is home today so no complaints here!


Back to Friday though, since the wind chill was still in the teens, we made it outside for about 2.4 seconds to snap these photos....which means that we spent more time dressing ourselves and the baby than we did playing in the snow!


Oops, fell over. This child can pull to a stand and walk his feet up to where he wants them but has no interest in sitting on his own. Doctor isn't worried so I guess I'm not either!

Snow angel! (So maybe we left him there for a second while Beau snapped some more photos...does that make up bad parents?....or smart ones?!)

Impressive smile considering he has snow down his diaper! Oh, and this was my coat as a baby...cool, huh?
