Snow Day!!!

YES, you read that right! Snow, real snow, right here in South Mississippi! Jessalyn was so disappointed that the last time we got any snow, a couple of months ago, it happened in the middle of the night and was gone by morning. Luckily, everyone was so sure of real snow today that they even cancelled school for it!

Lee at MawMaw and Brick's (snow doesn't stick to mud, and since we don't have any grass at the new house yet, we had to enjoy it somewhere else!).

Jessalyn drew out her snow person plan. The large snow person was if we got a lot of snow, the small one was if we got only a little snow.

The finished product. Notice our improvisation on keeping feet dry...Walmart bags over socks sure do come in handy. Nice thinking, MawMaw!

Home

It's been a long time since I've had an opportunity to post (or even look through the bajillion pictures on my camera), but I'm trying to catch up. We are finally settled into our new house, which really feels like home now. There are still many, many, many boxes to unpack and go through, but I'll think about that another day. Here are a some photos from the last two months.

Another sleep-over! Jessalyn's friend, Kailey stayed with us. All three kids got into the big tub for a movie-star bubble bath!

About to call it a night.
