Snow week!!!

This week started off with our first snow/ice storm of the season. This is Ethan's first time in the snow and he loves it. I had to carry him in the house crying today because his hands were bright red and cold, as he won't wear his mittens.

Here is a picture of Monday's storm....they guy on the bike is one of our neighbors. Why would you ride a bike in the snow/ice???? He came back to his house and rode the bus within a few minutes. The snow was gone within a couple of hours but in Oregon we usually get freezing rain more than snow so all the schools have been closed for most of the week. Jeff and I usually laugh when the schools close for this much snow, as we have both lived in SLC, Utah, where they usually have a lot of snow and very rarely close the schools.


Ethan peeking out Copper's dog door to find me, as I walked out to the garage.




Here is a picture of the snow this morning (Thursday).


Ethan eating his oatmeal breakfast in his new chair at the kitchen table just before getting ready to go out and play in the snow.
Copper is always looking for anything that Ethan drops, although oatmeal is rather messy.


Lets play in the snow....




We are supposed to have a major snow/ice storm this weekend and another on Christmas Eve, right in time for Grandma & Grandpa Hadley to arrive. Hopefully their plane won't be delayed, as Las Vegas had snow this week as well.
