Snow Day 2010

South Alabama had a winter treat last week...real snow! Andalusia hasn't seen the white stuff since 1993, so needless to say, we were out in full force enjoying the rare weather. I think Parrish tracked it on the weather channel all night, and was up EARLY Friday morning to check it out. Luckily he had the day off...how else would he have made 2 snowmen, trudged in the woods, slid down the hill, taken 100 pictures, driven around town and bundled Sylvie up twice to show her the snow? It is fun living with a big kid, let me tell you. Oh yeah, Sylvie had fun too.

It snowed pretty much all day! After homemade waffles, we bundled up and headed outside.

Can you believe we actually made them sit in this tiny chair in the snow? We are sadistic parents, apparently. (This is Sylvie's friend Bella who lives across the street and is 6 days younger than Sylvie, but about 2 pounds heavier).

Here is our snowman. Why do I look like a nun and Sylvie looks like the kid in "A Christmas Story" (you'll shoot your eye out)?

We had a great 3-day weekend with Daddy, and a very Happy Valentine's Day. Who knew the florist would brave the weather to deliver me the most beautiful tulips from my sweet husband?

Here is a photo of Sylvie eating for the first time. She must like the feeling of slime on her chin. Applesauce, not so much. Bananas? Mmmmmm.

We hope you're all doing well...maybe winter is slowly going to turn into spring (Sylvie really hopes so...she already has a swimsuit and sunglasses and is ready to get to the pool).

God Bless!
