Snow Play with a New Addition

My return home from a week-long work trip included a much snowier town than what I had left. Luckily, it stuck around long enough for me to enjoy some snow time with the kids. We live on a hill and when it’s super snowy, few people use our street. It is usually one of the…

Little Moments Missed

I’m away again for work this week, and I had to leave the kids before our season’s first snow. We are incredibly lucky to have neighbors who were willing to juggle our kids with theirs while Randy and I were out of town. (I was leaving and Randy was working his way home after a…

Our snow has melted… But before it did, Jordan spent as much time out in the cold stuff as possible. I actually had to bribe her with hot chocolate to come inside. I caught a few moments of her outside… she wanted to build a snowman, but we didn’t really have that much snow. But…

Special Exposure Wednesday

I don’t know how she does it… But Jordan will play outside in the snow forever if I let her. She spent almost an hour during a snowstorm yesterday. When she got inside she demanded hot chocolate. Classic kid.

Snow!

So… Getting a sled to move in the right direction is tricky for any almost four-year-old… But it’s even trickier when you’re working with one hand. So when I plopped Jordan onto a sled yesterday, she ended up riding in an old-school wooden sled that we just let go. No steering, just sliding. She ended…
