More fun in the snow!!

We finally got to go sledding although the snow was a bit dry. With 3 layers of clothes, I managed to just get a little cold. I do NOT like cold weather so bundling up for about an hour of sledding for me was a big sacrifice. It was worth it though to see the smiles on the boys faces. And Mom even took a turn, too :) Sorry, no pics. Finally the snow is gone and the weather forecasted to be in the 50s later in the week. Maybe we should break out the shorts!

First Snow Day 2010

We had our first official snowfall of 2010 today. The weather stations predicted 2-3 inches but we only have about 1/2-1 inch on the ground. Not quite enough for sledding (although Adam disagrees). I just happened to be off from work today so it worked out that I could be home to enjoy the fun. We spent the day first going to Adam's tumbling class at Small Wonders, then to McDonald's for McGriddles, then to Patterson Park for indoor swimming. When we returned home, Blake ran in and transformed into a football player. His response when I suggested he wear his coveralls and coat and maybe "wait" until I could go out with him: "but this is my dream to play football in the snow!". Watching him run plays solo with the snow falling all around him was priceless!! Later, Jeff and I repaired our yard-sale treadmill. Now, I can no longer use the excuse, "my treadmill is broken" for not exercising. At least I can walk indoors where it is warm :) !

Closing out 2009

Wow, what a year. 2009 was indeed a year in which I was blessed richly but not without some heartache. We closed out the year the week of Christmas being with our family in Paris, Rives and Jackson. After all the excitement a "quiet" New Year's Eve and New Year's Day was definitely in order.
