Snow news

The snow started falling as predicted this afternoon. Emma rushed outside to play in the snow. Philip had Peter and Ryan with him running errands and Nathan was asleep so I joined Emma outside. She was so excited about the snow. I mentioned to her not to get her hopes up because it would probably be a few hours before the snow stuck to the ground. Well, I couldn't have been more wrong. A little less than thirty minutes later we had about an inch accumulation. What seemed like an eternity to Emma, her brothers and daddy finally got home. They eagerly dressed in their ski pants and boots and headed outside.
Nathan enjoyed his first experience out in the snow. He even braved a hike in the woods behind our house and remained wide eyed the entire time. Speaking of wide eyes, look at those blue eyes.
