…Spring is here!!
More snow….and more snow!!!
They are saying that we received at least a foot of snow yesterday, the first time in 20+ years. Crazy.
I don’t want to give you the wrong impression. I’ve seen snow before, really I have. Every year, my parents would rent a cabin and we would go spend the weekend up at Shaver Lake, sledding and playing in the snow.
But it’s different when it happens to a place that you love, your home. Completely different than “visiting” snow, it’s like seeing your everyday place in a whole different light.
This is definitely how it felt yesterday, when the snow continued into the early am. 24 hours solid of snowing!!! Now, you might ask, how do we know that it didn’t stop until this time?? Well, in order to celebrate the fact that both Michael and I didn’t have work today (Friday) due to closed schools, the Unruhs came over and stayed until 3am. We lit a fire (which set off the smoke detectors!), drank tea,coffee and beer, ate cinnamon rolls and Bluebell ice-cream, and watched Robin Hood Men in Tights. The boys even made a “glacier” sized snowball out by the pool. When it got too heavy to keep rolling, they tossed it into the pool where it floated like a glacier for some time. All of this hanging out occurred after Courtney and I basically spent the entire morning together, shopping for piano books and drinking Starbucks. Jesse was available to watch Topher so that we could have our girls’ day out– he loved being “Uncle Jesse” and taking Topher to play in the snow all afternoon.
Anyways, check out the difference between these pictures Jesse took and the ones I posted yesterday morning.
SNoW dAys!!!
Jesse wasn’t expecting a whole lot when he took Claire outside to pee this morning. That’s because all night, we didn’t hear anything– no rain, no wind.
He came back inside, where I was warm and snuggled under the down comforter at the early time of 10am. “Kelly, you’ve got to come outside and see this!”
Apparently we got 6 inches of snow last night! And it’s still going on, so it’s probably more by now. I had heard on the weather report that it was going to be icy/snowy later in the day, so I preemptively cancelled all of my piano lessons for today (those winding country roads can be a death trap…). My class tonight will probably be cancelled too. And Jesse has the day off, so we’re probably going to throw some logs in the fireplace and read our homework with mugs of hot cocoa!!!!
After we walked outside and around the apartment complex, I turned to Jesse and said, “I’m so glad we get to live in a place that does this every now and then!”
