It’s a new year.
With the turn of a calendar page, we often imagine that we have a fresh
start… a new beginning. When you stop to
think about it, well… it’s actually kind of arbitrary. But just for the sake of argument, I’m going
with it…
So what if I did something every single day, this
year, that was worthy of a photograph? I’ve
started projects like this before, and the truth is they usually fall flat
around day 12. But maybe this time will
be different… just maybe…
And so, with a renewed sense of hope that I must
have dredged up from the deeply hidden inner optimist, I started planning to
get the kids in their snow gear and to go build a snowman around 11:00, this
morning. Shortly after 2:00, we all
finally made it out the door only to realize that the snow wouldn’t “pack”
worth anything and that Seth apparently has no gloves. I gave him mine. Who needs gloves if you can’t build a
snowman?
We had fun.
And so I give you January 1st, 2013… That day when Caleb managed to come in with
mild looking frostbite on his stomach, because it is so fun to roll around in
the powdery snow you don’t always notice that your pants are falling down… That day when Miah kept exclaiming things
like, “Hey look what I found! A tree!”…
It Doesn't Really Get Any Better Than This:
"This snowball is so 'coldy'"
Yep, that's what she said:

She thought everything was so funny:

Snow Diva:
A couple of good looking kids
with a couple of good looking snowballs:
Hot chocolate is yummy.
Everyone is warmed up.
There is more snow in the kitchen than the backyard.
It’s been a good day.
