snowy day

Today was Lydda Grace's first snowy day! I tried to talk it up to her all morning and we even tried cutting (I did that part of course) out paper snowflakes (she just wanted to throw all the bits of paper on the floor and eat them). We read lots of books and waited for the snow to start!

Lydda Grace is turning into quite the bookworm and I am constantly hearing, "ree, ree, ree" throughout the day!
At 3 something it started to snow so we went to look out the glass doors near our apartment (we don't have good windows inside for her to see out). She kept saying, "no, no, no" which in this case meant "snow." (At other times it might actually mean no, nose or snowman). When I tried to bring her back inside she cried!! So we bundled up and went to visit Jon at work -- he has to work late so he missed the snow action... :( After dinner we ventured out again to get a few pictures before the students come out to play tonight and churn up all the pretty snow!

This first picture might be an all time favorite. She does this "O" expression a lot when she's excited or amazed about something and this snow certainly qualified!

We're hoping to get out a little tomorrow with Dada and will post more pictures then!
