SNOW!!!

I realize I've been MIA for quite a while.

I'll get to that in a different post.

But right now, let's talk about SNOW.

Snow has also been MIA this winter,

until this past weekend.

I know that not everyone is a fan

but at our house- we love the white stuff.

We kind of enjoy being homebound during a big storm.

We also enjoy getting out and playing in it.

This was Stella's first real opportunity to play in the snow.

As you can see, she liked it.

She especially liked sledding down the driveway with Cole.

And without him.

Now let's talk about the other aspect of snow that is not so awesome.

The damage it does to our trees.

See those limbs that are full and resting on the ground.

They're usually a good 12 feet in the air.

We lost some limbs on the trees in our front yard.

Well, actually, we lost at least one whole tree, 

maybe two.

Maybe all three.

Here is Cole trying to give our trees a little relief.

I think that shaking them off a bit probably saved them.

Whew- that branch found relief by resting on the trampoline.

There was one teenage boy who was just praying that the branch didn't snap

and crush his trampoline.

It didn't!
