Jumping on the Snowy Bandwagon


Snow!

Everyone is talking about snow snow snow, all the time snow, aren't we? I can't help myself, though, because it has been snowing ALL DAY here, and gosh, is it pretty. It's nothing like the massive amounts that have been dumped on you mid-Atlantic types but we have inches and inches out there on the ground and it is still coming down in soft, white, fluffy, giant flakes slowly drifting down.

Grace keeps wanting to go outside to play but only manages to stay outside for about 20 minutes before getting too cold. You know, with her nonexistent body fat and all. The snow is so appealing and enticing, however, that it is not too long before she hears the siren call of the piles of white powder and wants to go out again. I am about to run out of clean dry pants for her because we have been through this several times today and she needs a change of clothes each time she comes in. I would have planned better if I'd realized at the beginning that she was going to waft back and forth all day between the indoors and outdoors.

Life looks better covered in snow and this IS astonishingly beautiful for Texas, but it turns out that other places are even prettier covered in snow. Rob took this picture when he was in Salt Lake City interviewing for that job. Nice, huh?

We are lucky that we have not one but two snowsuits that fit our girls and 2 pairs of snow boots as well. I don't know why since we live in Texas but it sure has been helpful today.

It is just ridiculous how adorable your children are. That picture should be a GAP ad.

So sweet... I think I enjoyed this snow more than ever since I got to watch Asher experience the beautiful newness of it all.

I never thought I would be sharing the same winter experiences with people in Dallas! I have to put together my own snow post soon.

So fun! I hope not too many plants are doomed by the sudden bitter cold and snowfall there. Salt Lake looks pretty gorgeous with snow too! *wink*
