snowflakes falling

as a child, i dreamed about snow days. i loved bundling up and making the first tracks in the snow. i loved building snow forts and imagining that i could live outside like an eskimo.

this saturday brought our real snowfall, and i couldn't wait for little girl to experience this winter wonderland -- despite still not having all the gear we need for her. (notice she's wearing socks on her hands. and she'll need some snow pants and boots, too!)

little girl was as happy as can be. she ran around in circles, while i tried to teach her how to make snow angels and snowballs.

now little girl signs and says snow over and over. we're ready for another trip outside.
