First Snow

It snowed today. I suppose most Edmontonians would sigh a resolute “finally” but for us Vancouverites, snow is a novelty -you let the kids stay home from school to play because you never know if it will last longer than an hour. And while I know that by February I will be cursing the white stuff, we celebrated the arrival of winter, Vancouver-style and did indeed stay home. Okay because of the snow but also because Ella is fighting some GI bug and the idea of packing both the girls into the car after being up with one or both of them for most of the night just to take Jakob to school made me want to crawl into a hole. Needless to say, the Ewerts had a pajama day – until they were ready to go outside that is.

It was this little girl’s first snow. I think she liked it, or at least liked watching her brother and sister play in it.

Just a reminder as well to help Shaw get home to his Forever Family this Christmas. Read my post here or just click on the donation box to the right of this post.
