First Day of Spring!

Yesterday it reached almost 70 degrees here, but it was pretty windy so it wasn't all that enjoyable. Then last night the trouble started. Today we are snowed in! OK maybe not truly snowed in, but it's been snowing all day and we haven't found any reason to risk getting out in it.

Since Natalie has a virus that's keeping us home from church tonight, but only affecting her in the form of a sore throat, we let her get out in the snow. This is her first time to play in the snow, and she had a ball. We she found out she was going to go outside, she happily complied with all wardrobe adjustments we deemed necessary. We bundled her in a long-sleeved t-shirt, sweatshirt, gloves, thick tights, jeans, fuzzy socks, plastic bags on her feet, shoes, a scarf, knit cap, and VERY thick winter coat (thanks again, Sheila!). She was definitely warm. :)

Natalie's very first snow angel!

Rosy, rosy cheeks = the sign of a happy girl (whether or not she's willing to smile for a photo). ;)
