First Snow

John's Aunt Jane sent us the most beautiful wooden sled just two days ago. It had belonged to her son, Ben, when he was young. The timing couldn't have been more perfect, as snow was predicted for this weekend. We bought O.K. a snow suit and tried out the whole ensemble in the living room (well, almost--we never did find boots).



Today the snow is here, and while we haven't yet tried out the sled (still working on how to McGyver O.K. into it), we did manage to get outside and at least look at and feel the snow. Oscar observed the new look of the neighborhood with a serious face (or is the so-puffy-I-can't-move snowsuit getting him down?)



The following picture was taken around 1:15 this afternoon. The snow continues to fall, so we'll see how much more we have in a few hours.
