Sunday, snowy Sunday.

I've got a secret to tell you. It's snowing today.

Madelyn really wanted to go sledding yesterday morning on the snow that was left from Thursday but that didn't happen. Fortunately, for everyone in my house, we've got a lot of snow coming down today!

Mid-morning, Griff, Madelyn, and Sawyer got bundled up and headed out for some snow day fun. I think the driveway might have been shoveled, too, but that's beside the point.

 Snow? Check. New snowsuit? Check. Here we go!

FINALLY enough snow for sledding.

Taking a ride down the street.

This is more fun than he expected. We might need a bigger sled.

The three amigos.

It's a good thing Oshkosh B'Gosh practically gave me Sawyer's snow suit. He was toasty warm and not a bit wet. In fact, I had to lure him inside with the promise of chocolate milk. For everyone else, hot chocolate with marshmallows waited for them inside.

Happy snow day!

Snow day hobbies

One of Madelyn's snow day hobbies is shoveling. She loves to get all bundled up and shovel the deck.

Sawyer's hobbies, for now, include standing at the window watching.

Madelyn's first snow storm

After 11 weeks without any significant snow, we FINALLY got some -- about 12 inches at our house -- last Thursday and Friday. I was beginning to think that the cute snowsuit we bought for "Baby A" last fall would go unused. Not wanting to miss out on a perfect photo opportunity, and suffering from a little cabin fever, I dressed Madelyn up and we headed out front for a few pictures. Luckily, Griff worked from home on Friday so he was around to play with us.

There was no romping in the snow nor snowball fights nor sledding. She is, after all, only 11 weeks old. However, it was fun to have her outside. And, to see that she didn't mind wearing her snowsuit even if it was just for 10 minutes. Next winter, weather permitting, we may get more opportunities to play outside together.
