First Snow of 2008

We had our first snow of 2008 last week. We knew it wouldn't stick, so we bundled Jackson up to go run around in it before it all melted. Of course, he had to share all this excitement with his bus. It was sooo cold, but I just love the snow. I have to say we get just the right amount of snow up here - just enough to have some fun but not enough to keep us holed up inside.

I would always pray that it would snow up at my grandparent's house in northern Missouri when we would travel up there for Christmas. My grandpa would get so mad at me, because he just hated the snow. On occasion he would be known to make a snowball, bring it inside, and rub it on my nose while I was sleeping. What a way to wake up!!

Jeez... I got on to make my second post and you've posted 10 times since the last time I did. I guess you're somewhere between the newborns and the three crazy children with love-hate relationships. :) LOVED reading all about the fam! I also noticed that I'm tagged. I'm not sure I can come up with any interesting things... I'll try soon. :)
