Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!

We got a record December snowfall this week, and have enjoyed being snowed in as a family. What could be better than being snowed in with the three people you love most in the world? We've also been enjoying the snow. Highlights included watching Bella "snowplow" through the backyard to make paths for us to walk in, marvelling at snow that came up to Katie's waist and my knees, and Daddy teaching Katie how to make a snowman.

Katie's 2009 Snow Adventures

My apologies that I've been busy resting (if that's possible) and getting ready for the birth of our son, and thus have been neglecting Katie's blog. Now that our due date is here and we're just playing the waiting game, I'll try to catch up a little!

We had two big snows this year, which were so much fun. John didn't get a snow day either time, but thankfully the second time around, he already had taken a day off and could play with us in the snow.

Big Snow #1, Day 1

We spent the morning cruising and stumbling across our front yard and the yards of other neighbors. It wasn't until that afternoon's eye doctor appointment that I realized that somewhere along the way, Katie had lost one of the brand-new lenses out of her glasses. Whoops! Don't think we're going to find that one.




Big Snow #1, Day 2

The next day the yard was pretty icy, so we stayed in the flat backyard and ran around with Bella. You'll notice Katie's not wearing glasses -- they were off being repaired.

Big Snow #2

This time Daddy got to play with us! It's much more fun when Daddy's here -- he had much more energy and strength than Preggie Mommy to bounce Katie around, pick her up when she fell (she learned quickly how to say "help!"), and lift up to the top of the slide.


Here are a few short video clips. Think Katie's "happy?"

The Unhappy Snow Angel

Katie wasn't really into being a snow angel. The snowflakes kept hitting her in the face and she couldn't understand why Mommy put her down on the ground. Next year, I guess....

Katie's First Snow


Well, we may not have been able to go to the movies as planned today, but what better excuse than Katie's first snow?
