Snow!

 Yesterday we experienced our first West Virginia snowstorm and it was gorgeous. Warm and safe inside the sun rooms, we were able to watch the ginormous flurries falling all around us. As soon as school ended Timmy put on his winter gear and headed outside to play. Robby, not wanting to miss out on the opportunity to nail his little brother with some snow, decided to join him.

I was super proud of myself for knowing where his new sled was hidden within the pile of boxes in the basement, and finding the air compressor was just as easy.  We bought the tube sled about three years ago when a storm was predicted and never materialized. I was excited to surprise the boys with an unexpected sled. After one night, Timmy has officially sledded more in West Virginia than he ever has in Virginia. 

Watching them play and sled together lifted my spirits and made my heart sing. When they came inside I fired up the new cocoa machine and we dried off in front of the fire. Everybody, with the exception of Friend who tried to play but hates the snow, thoroughly enjoyed the evening.
