Snow Day 2011!

This morning we woke to a white blanket of snow on our yard. The past few days have been frigid so the snow at least was something to break up the monotony. It took us about thirty minutes to get dressed and we spent about three minutes outside. Wesley is wearing three sweaters because she refused to wear her very warm coat. As soon as we walked back in the house she asked for her coat to be put on while she ate lunch. Quinn did one snow angel (quicker than I could capture her in the act) and instantly ran to the front door begging to go inside. I suppose we'll have to invest in better winter wear if we ever relocate to a place with true winter.

You can still see Daddy's tracks from when he left for work about four hours earlier.

I took one of Boone too but going that fast they looked identical.
Baxter sat by the back door to be let out but immediately changed his mind when I opened the door.

Snow Day!

This past Tuesday it snowed! And I mean really snowed. All day long. Large flakes, too! The snow even stuck around overnight. And in the shady spots of the backyard the snow lasted for two days. You can tell by my enthusiasm that this does not happen frequently in Austin, Texas. We snapped a few shots of the house, the yard, and Quinn out with our neighbor building a snow man. What a cool day! (pun intended.)

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

After Christmas we packed up the car and took the girls on their first real road trip. We headed 10 hours west to New Mexico with our friends, the Norris family. Michelle's grandparents have an amazing house in the mountains near Cloudcroft. We played in the snow, the sand, and enjoyed the fresh mountain air. The hospitality and company could not be beat - we had a great trip!
