Well Since Everyone is Posting About the Snow...


Yep, this is our second significant snow this winter. I'm very aware of this because during the first significant snow we rushed to Target to get her snow pants, but by the time we got home the snow had melted. That is life in the high desert. But this time we were ready! Yesterday while I was passed out sick, husband took the baby out for a nice long romp. This morning there was another couple inches so we walked all the way to the park! Even in snowpants!

Watching her in the snow is everything I imagined--a total reawakening. Every small detail must be closely examined, sniffed, tasted, or stomped. On the way home she tuckered out, so each time she tumbled she lay back and looked up at the sky in a long moment of winter silence. Peace on earth.
