first snow








eliana experienced her first snow yesterday morning. i still feel like i'm seeing snow for the first time - i get so excited and child-like when we have a snow as rich and heavy as the one he had monday morning. i got els all bundled up in her snowsuit, and we headed to the park to take it all in. eliana still sees contrasting colors the best so i think the intensity of the white against everything else was a treat for her little eyes (actually, her eyes were quite huge as she marveled at the wonder of it all). the snow was, in fact, so intense, that we lost all power at our house for the rest of the day. school was cancelled and we ended up camping out at jeff's folks place.

today the sky is the brightest blue and yesterday's snow is sparkling in the sunlight. i am so thrilled that we have both beloved auntie's, kelli and hilary coming in for thanksgiving. i love to share the beauty of this landscape almost as much as i love to share the beauty of my baby!
