Déjà vu

Another post about a snow storm and Carter of course.....

Post snow storm, we ventured off to the Capitol to see the Mall with snow. Several people were cross-country skiing there. It was such a pretty day! Carter LOVED to walk around with all the snow and people visiting the Capitol. It was so nice to get out of the house and it was so fun to see all the snow.

The Capitol with the amazing blue skies

The Mall and Washington Monument with a fun little rainbow speck in the sky.

Back at the ranch we have Carter on our sidewalk.

Our little snow bunny. As I walk past people out in public, I frequently hear the comment, "I just want to pinch his cheeks!" This picture gets me to smile every time.

The snow that knocked our power out for over 10 hours (a short-lived adventure), canceled church (2nd week in a row), canceled school for 4 days so far (last Friday before a flake hit the ground, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday), gave Jason a really good work out, and made us wish we had a sled (next year). One of the best parts about the storm is its name "Snowmegeddon" like Armageddon, but you say snow instead of arm. It felt like the end of the world based on people's reactions.

Carter right after his bath playing dress-up with me. He is sporting a button up shirt billowing open with a slick hair-do and classy Sesame Street diaper. He continues to be obsessed with stairs and the gate.

Handsome little bugger.

He kind of looks like he can't walk yet with his legs crossing under him. Poor kid.

The boots didn't help.

He is a handsome little guy! Can't believe all the snow you have! Although, I bet that if you were to get a sled next year you will probably hardly get any and won't get to use it. Murphy's law.

Hey are you wearing strippy pants?? Interesting. I want to see a photo of those.

Wendi said...

They're fuzzy strippy pajamas. They happen to keep the snow out. I don' know how, but I went tromping through the snow and didn't feel wet even though they were coated with snow. Pretty amazing.

Carter is so adorable! I can't believe all the snow you guys still have!
