Snow Day

We got a lot of snow today and one of the joys of being home is being able to shovel (no, I'm not kidding...I like to shovel, plus more Dave time when he gets home) and of course to enjoy it with Gabe. He likes the snow, but in smaller doses...about 20 mins max. He likes me to throw snow balls at him, he likes to watch me shovel and of course to eat the snow.

Gearin' Up...

Gettin' out...


Face towards the sky, letting the snow fall on his face...

Walking on the now clean sidewalks...

Diving right in...

I'd love to see X and Gabe together in their matching snow suits. I agree, that picture of him letting the snow fall on his face is great. But the "gettin' out" one is precious - love that smile.

I never enjoy shoveling. Maybe because I've always had to shovel when Jason's out of town.

Awwww, these photos are awesome. He looks adorable in that snow suit. Like a little roley poley. I'm thinking he enjoyed his day (or 20 mins) out in the snow!

Oh....Soooooo Lovely little snowman!!! I really like all pictures!!! There was lots of snow there like here!

I also sometimes enjoy shoveling. However...I tried doing it with D on my back (in the Ergo) and it was REALLY, HEAVY, WET snow. The combo about killed me: heavy snow, heavy dead weight on my back. Phew!

Love Gabe's snow suit. CUTE!

oh my - these are all so fabulous! I agree with everyone else though... that "face up to the sky" is priceless!

He just loves to dive right in... doesn't he!?

These pictures are WONDERFUL! I'm glad Gabe is enjoying the snow...he certainly has enough to keep him happy for a while.

I'm so behind in keeping up with blogs and blogging....but decided to check in on you and Gabe today. Man he's growing fast!! He's so adorable. Looks like you're having lots of fun, and he's doing well. It's so heart warming to visit the blogs of my fellow waiters after we've all been home 6 or more months. These little guys are SO amazing!! So adaptive and resilient. Proof of what a good program Eastern really has!

Hope you all had wonderful holidays!
