Snow!

Yesterday afternoon, shortly after lunch time...look at all of that snow (and still lots more to come!).

Saying Thank You!

Aaron, the plow man, is famous at our house! Grace, Jack and Eve were so excited to see him pull into our driveway for the first of many rounds of plowing yesterday. They each made Aaron a thank you sign and stood at the window holding up their signs for Aaron to see! smile emoticon

Gracie!

My Gracie girl loving every moment of the blizzard! 

Eve!

The snow was getting just about as high as Eve is tall..and this picture was taken before the half way point of the blizzard!

My Blizzard Boy!

 

Our Second Blizzard Adventure Outside!

This was our second outdoor adventure yesterday during the blizzard.  Eve wasn't quite sure what to think of it all.  She enjoyed watching it from the warmth and safety of the garage. 

 All day long I called Jack my "blizzard boy!"  He loved everything about it!

During the blizzard, Grace was my official snow measurer!  Yesterday morning Grace said we had 12.3 inches of snow (and so much more was yet to come!).

Warming Up By the Fire

We had our first blizzard adventure outside shortly after breakfast yesterday. When we got back inside I had all of the snow gear drying and all three children warming up by the fire!  We went back out for round two a few minutes after this.  

The Blizzard!

I will catch up with my December and January pictures soon but I thought I would start back with my blog by posting pictures from the blizzard!  Jack woke up extra early yesterday to watch the blizzard. The visibility yesterday morning was near zero with all the snow blowing around. Jack was so excited.

Yes, I am still here!  I guess that week of me wanting to catch up with pictures turned into another week and then another and now it's been nearly a month since my last post.  I've been quite busy lately but I will definitely find some time to catch up.   :)

I'll be back soon!

So much to catch up on.  I'll be back this week with lots of pictures!  

My Loves!

The Thinker...

This is how sweet Eve fell asleep last night.

Eve!

This little lady of mine keeps me laughing every day. She has such a big personality that I love so very much! Eve asked to walk her baby outside this morning in the middle of an icy Nor'easter while dressed in a giraffe costume. Eve waved to all of the cars that passed by and told me it was so nice that everyone was looking at her baby in her stroller! 

Salt Dough Ornaments

Eve made salt dough this morning. She enjoyed rolling it flat and using different shapes of cookie cutters to make Christmas ornaments for our friends and family.

A New Week...

A beautiful start to a new week...

Eight is Great!

Gracie girl had fun celebrating her 8th birthday at Summit Adventures on Saturday.

Jack

Poor Jack has been so sick. I picked him up early from school yesterday because he wasn't feeling well. Jack was up most of the night with a stomach virus. He is home with Eve and I today and is laying on the couch right now all warm and snugly while drinking sips of ginger tea to help his little tummy feel better.

Grace & Jack

There was a two hour delay for school this morning due to the weather. Grace and Jack had a fun morning at home playing Othello together. Grace received this game as a birthday gift yesterday. I remember playing Othello over and over again with my brother when I was their age. Watching Grace and Jack together this morning brought back so many wonderful childhood memories for me!

Getting Ready...

Jack asked if he could stay up with me past his bedtime tonight to help decorate for Grace's birthday tomorrow. Right now he is decorating one of the doorways with a Happy Birthday banner and streamers so Grace can run through it first thing tomorrow morning. So precious!

A Little Artist...

Eve asks to paint every day. It's one of her favorite things to do. Eve has definite ideas about what colors, paint brushes, paint strokes, paper and type of paint she wants to use...a future artist perhaps?!!
