Snow!

We don't get much snow here... usually. Katie and Grandma brought the cold weather with them, though, and we got a lot of snow just after they left. The cold stuck around and we had finally gotten rid of it (it usually doesn't stay more than a day or two at most) when we got another generous helping. It snowed continuously for an entire day. Izzie's preschool closed for two days and our teacher orientation was canceled - everyone stayed home where it was warm and cozy.

Here are a couple of pictures from the first snow. I haven't had my camera out much recently, so I apologize for the older and not so clear pictures! And the runny nose.

Also from the first snow, but taken in the elevator where it was warmer. The kids spent half an hour throwing snow at each other (usually directly in the face) while I made a faceless snowman by myself. Somehow they were still smiling and laughing when we went back in, despite being soaked. Ah, remember those days of playing in the snow until our fingers were so cold we couldn't get our zippers undone when we finally went back into the house?
