SNOW!


If you've been listening to the national news, Denver made the headlines with the crazy amount of snow we have had the last day and a half. Starting Tuesday night we have had non-stop snow until about noon today, Thursday. At our place we have had around 22 inches of snow (that was from the last newscast I listened to). We decided that we should take Samuel out to experience his first large snowfall. And how could we not on this record-breaking occasion? He would be very disappointed later in life to know his parents didn't let him experience the city-stopping snow. Denver is basically shut down, no buses, no public works, no malls, nothing. Only the snowplows are working overtime to clear the roads. The north-south interstate was closed throughout the entire state and it is still closed outside of Denver.

Aaron spent part of this afternoon shoveling out our car from the parking lot and he was able to make it out onto the snowpacked roads. Only the main highways have been plowed.

We have had two snow days from school and we won't have any school tomorrow either. It has been nice to start break early but it gets a little claustrophic being inside this long!!

That title "SNOW" reminds me of the White Christmas movie where the 4 main stars sing enroute to Vermont on the train----Snow, Snow, Snow!! As do the pictures remind of what winter is supposed to really be about--not this bare ground, green grass stuff!!
Something got a little messed up I think!

Samuel's gazing out the window is so sweet---makes you kind of wonder what his mind is telling him about that white stuff!!

Looking forward to seeing you all soon!!

Love!
Mom
