First snow

This is from a couple of weeks ago at our first snowfall.

Holden was not impressed.

Snow fall

We had a HUGE snow storm a couple of weeks ago. here are some remarkable photos from the day after:

Shoveling & Winterlude!

Friday brought us a TON of snow, so John and I spent a couple of hours shoveling Saturday morning. We bundled up the baby and he slept soundly in his stroller while we got some exercise (that snow is heavy!!). It was really nice and mild out, so we didn't mind too much, plus John had a blast throwing me in the snowbanks a couple a times.

We had a fabulous Sunday here in the Nation's Capital! We went to Winterlude ice slides with the Churchill family, then back to Gerry & Lisa's house for a fabulous brunch. Here are some pics from our day:

Back at Gerry & Lisa's, Holden finally wakes up and hangs out with his cousin Keira:

Holden Climbs Mount Everest

Okay... so its not Mount Everest and more like I threw Holden on top of our snowbank to take a picture. Yes, I suppose if you want to be a stickler, he's not *actually* on top. As cool as it would have been to have little Holden on top of that giant mountain of snow.... Stephanie pulled out her veto and we compromised by sticking him into the snowbank about half way up.

Isn't that snowbank crazy!??! Apparently we set a record for snowfall on Sunday and with a few other small snowfalls expected before the end of the week, we may have as much snowfall in December of this year as we had for the entire winter last year.

Oh yeah, we went to visit the midwife today and Holden is 10lbs 13 ounces!
