Winter

This is the woods behind our house. We have about 3" of snow on the ground - and it is very icy underneath the snow on the roads! So Jordan and I are home AGAIN today... I've only made it to work 2 days this week! As beautiful as it is, I'm ready for this to be over. Although as I sit here now, with a mug of hot chocolate, watching the big snowflakes drift out of the blue, it does feel like Christmas... :) Here are a few more pictures, for the benefit of any Floridians or Carolinians who may be reading this - I understand it is in the 80s and 70s respectively thereabouts.

Our rocking chairs - for perspective. This picture was taken at about 7:00 this morning, and it has snowed most of the day since.


It looks like a winter wonderland around here! I have been excited to take Jordan out and let her experience it - but it is so cold that I don't keep her out in it for very long. I'd like to build a snowman - perhaps if the girl would EVER take a nap I could sneak out and make one for pictures! I did bundle her up and take her out once this morning - with double pajamas, her biggest sweater, and a pair of mommy's earmuffs that I pinned so that they'd fit.


She did "experience it" in the typical baby style - picked it up and put it in her mouth!! :) She wasn't sure what to make of the snowball either...

So we played for a bit, and Cobey had the most fun of all - he really loves to romp in the snow. I think that he slides around intentionally... The cold doesn't seem to bother him when we are outside with him, but as soon as we come in, he stands at the window and gives me his very best pitifull shiver!
