A Rare Beautiful Fall Day...












Snow in September!!!

O.k., so, its not unusual to have snow in September, but, it is unusual to get this much and for it to stick for two full days!!  Owen went to bed telling me he was hoping there'd be snow in the morning when he woke up.  I told him I'd wish for that too, but, that we had no control and I didn't think there was a very good chance it would happen.  But, we woke-up on the 23rd to snow on the ground and it continued to snow ALL DAY LONG.  In fact, it was a blizzard as we walked to the bus stop that morning and although it was above freezing, we ended up with a total accumulation of almost 4 inches that lasted until late the next day.

We weren't very prepared.  I have snow clothes for Liv that I bought at the end of the season last year.  Unfortunately, I overshot her size by A LOT! ;O)  Expect to see this coat next winter...




Max was probably more excited than any of us to have snow.  He gets cold pretty fast, but, loves running and jumping through the snow piles.  In fact, I wanted the kids to stand by him for a picture, but, every time they got close he'd pounce the ground and take off.  He's such a funny little dog.
