Playing in the Snow




Today was the first major snowfall where Joshua was actually old enough to know what was going on. He talked about the snow all day but then when we finally got him dressed in his new snowsuit and (too big) boots he just stood in the driveway, looking dazed. Daddy was a little disappointed as he was looking forward to playing in the snow with his little boy but I guess there's always next year.

We ventured out early this morning to go to church and made it as far as Joe's parent's house in Aldergrove before we decided to turn back. Joe was driving one of their big delivery trucks that he brought home yesterday while I followed in the Civic. A car actually spun out right in front of his truck on the freeway and while he was able to avoid it, it got hit by a semi in the fast lane and went into the ditch. No one was hurt, thank goodness! The roads were definitely crazy this morning! I am just glad to be home with my family! Joe called all of his employees this afternoon and told them not to attempt to go into work tomorrow so we get another day off together tomorrow! :) (Joe's first 2 day weekend in more than 2 months!!) YAY!!

Last year Ben didn't know what to make of the snow, either. I say "we" but actually it was "me" who made the snowman...but it was super cute when Ben shook the snowman's hand and was saying hello!!!! Later when Mr. Snowman melted to a small lump, Ben made his own artistic version, and stuck a whole bunch of twigs into it. Glad you guys are ok after the scary driving experience. We made it to church...but its only 5 mins away...and that was scary enough!!!

Yay for days off where you can play in the snow! I'm sure Josh will figure out how to play in teh snow if it sticks around for a little while.

Who would have thought his 2 day weekend would turn into 2 weeks off work with a new baby! :)
