Let it snow...Let it snow...Let it snow!

Today was the first snow for Winter 2006/2007. It started with temperatures falling from about 60 to the lower 30’s. The sleet/ice combo came down leaving our city with about an inch of ice. Schools were closed and the kids were going a little crazy, then this afternoon, snow started falling. We have only received about an inch so far, but it’s cold and white.

When Jacob laid down for his nap, I told him it was going to be snowing when awoke. At least that is what my local weather man told me. So, when he woke up and saw it was snowing, he asked, 'how did you do that?'. If we could only remain this amazing our entire lives.

We can only assume that this is Isabella’s first snow. So for a brief moment, Jacob and I opened the back door and let her walk out to see, touch, and taste it. The photos explain her reaction.

I must admit, Jacob and I had a great laugh. The only word that came out of her was a shrill of a scream we have never heard before, followed by a great big belly laugh making her fall right on her tush.

Tonight, we are having are first of what I can only assume many, indoor campfires. We will be dining on pizza on our picnic carpet table, followed by roasting marshmallows by the fire. All of which, were Jacob’s idea. He has been dying to go camping so that he could roast marshmallows. We told him the first snow we had we could do it inside by the fire. Not knowing our first snow would be November 30. So, Robb is on his way home from work picking up the necessities for an indoor campfire.

I will keep you posted. Until then, I might suggest a Snow Angel or two.

Enjoy,
Robb, Angela, Jacob, and Isabella
