First Snow!

It has been an incredibly mild winter, for the second year in a row, and you got your first glimpse of snow on Friday.  It has flurried a few times earlier this year, but nothing has really stuck around to amount to anything.  The snow only lasted a day or two, but we had Kendrick snap a quick picture for us as we were getting in the car so we could remember your first real snow!

Clearly you were not in the mood for your hat or a picture!

Dad and I both like the snow, the crisp chill of the winter air, and the stillness it brings along with it.  We kind of miss it, but honestly when it is in full force, we are eager for it to be gone quicker than it normally tends to let up! This year, dad was especially hoping for snow since he bought himself a new snowboard(and currently talks about nothing BUT that snowboard!).  It is looking as if he will have to wait until we hit the Alps in France next year to test it out for the first time!  Last week he surprised us by taking a day off on Tuesday, and while we were out and about we finally found a very affordable pair of boots to go along with the board, and you had fun trying them out when we got home.

We hope to always live in a climate that we are able to relish in each of the seasons, as each are special and beautiful in their own way!  Dad, however, would be happy on an island, until he remembers the chance of a tsunami swallowing it whole.  Where ever we are, we will make it exciting and find our own adventures and build our memories as a family!!
