Blizzard '09

Well, maybe "blizzard" is blowing it a little out of proportion, but we have had about a foot and a half of snow in the past 24 hours and it is still snowing as we are about to head off to bed. I didn't go in to work and Emily's classes got cancelled today, and the same may happen tomorrow. My parents are supposed to be flying into town tomorrow evening, so hopefully the snow will let up by then and that the runways and roads will be clear.

Cole and I took full advantage of the white out by heading outside to play in the snow. Here are some pictures of us before heading out into the cold.

Cole is intrigued by, and loves to say, "gloves".

Here he is showing off the awesome snowsuit that Uncle Chris & Aunt Colleen got him for his birthday. Thanks guys!!!

We threw some snowballs, ate some snowballs, fell over in the snow, and did some sledding. Here is a video of me pulling Cole and some of the other kids in a sled.

As you may remember from last winter, we have a hill right outside our apartment that is ideal for little kids to sled on. So Cole and I made 6 or 7 trips down the hill until Cole's face was frozen, which was our cue to head inside. Here is some video of one of our runs.


And no blog post is complete without a new picture of Gwen. She's a keeper!
