Let it Snow!

So last week we had some snow! I love the first snow of the year- especially in Colorado. It is a beautiful blanket, causes no traffic problems and is gone by noon! Who wouldn't love it?
The snow here is typically so dry that we can't make snowmen. But this was nice wet goopy stuff and smashed well into the fascinating figure of Frosty... We had this great snowman kit, courtesy of Aunt Marta and we loved our snowman!

Patrick is not sure about the snow- first he is so bundled he can hardly walk, then the cold snow on the mittens...

And as for frosty...

Frosty the Snowman

Had to hurry on his way

But he waved goodbye

Saying don't you cry

I'll be back again some day

Thumpety thump thump

Thumpety thump thump.....

Time for Change

Since America has voted for change, we are going to give it to you as well! We are going to redistribute the change across a couple of issues (real people speak- Susanna hasn't blogged in awhile so I am going to jam a whole bunch of topics into one blog).

1. First platform: New coats for all. We bought coats on election day. We thought it might be a cold day up here in Weld County and boy were we right. The weather was beautiful, the politics unforgiving.

2. Continued solidarity. We have been playing a lot with our across the street neighbors. Tea parties, long drives in the country. The stuff a laid-back childhood is made of...

3. And freedom for all. Check out Patrick. As a little fairy. Actually a butterfly fairy. Enough said... Save these pictures as we will be sure to use them as blackmail soon....

So take this blog and divide it amongst your blog-less friends! And join us on Baby Watch 2008 as we wait for Marta and Charlie's little boy!
