The last Snowfall!!



We woke up this morning to 6 inches of snow!!  Good thing I waited to put everyone's snowpants, boots, and gloves away.  I was contemplating it just a few days ago.  But I am hoping this is the last snow and I will have a clean laundry room again soon.

The good part about the snow today is that is was in the upper 30's lower 40's this afternoon and it was a really wet snow, so the kids could build a snowman!   Seth is the "fun" parent and built a huge snowman with the kids.  I am totally o.k. with this!  I will stay in the warm house and take photos of the cold, wet people in the snow!  

After the snowman was built, Seth and Jason threw snowballs at it and karate chopped it down.  I love the picture of Jason's Victory Dance!

More pictures. . .




So I've had my family asking for more pictures, so here they are.  

There is also a story behind the blessing pictures, so here goes:

The morning of Mitchell's blessing Seth has meetings so we weren't able to take any pictures before church.  Seth also has to stay after for a little bit so he didn't get home until the baby was asleep, but I told him to stay in his suit.  When the baby woke up, I fed him and then Seth's Mom was holding him and he had his first major blow out in his blessing outfit.  Thus there are no pictures from Mitchell's actual blessing day.  So the next Sunday, I dressed him up in his outfit again and took some pictures with Seth.  

Mitchell sure looks cute in his little tuxedo!  I was almost too embarrased to take him out of his car seat to be blessed.  I looked at him in that little suit and started laughing and thinking, "why do we dress up these little babies like their going to the prom?"  His tuxedo even has coat tails!!

We had a great weekend when he was blessed.  Seth's parents came as well as Seth's sister Lucy and her family.  I absolutely love having family visit and Seth's Mom and Dad spoiled the kids and the parents.  They are the greatest inlaws!  I am so lucky.

Lucy now lives permanently in Indiana and it's so nice to have family close!!  We're going down to her house for Spring Break in a week or so.
