Mom-Mom's last day

IT SNOWED TODAY!!

It snowed off and on from 1pm until 7pm or so! First snowfall in this area since 1989! It was totally unexpected & my goodness, WHAT an awesome surprise!! The kids REALLY loved it and it was nice to be reminded of the beauty of snow and the bone-chilling cold that I grew up with in PA!

So, what do you think of this snow, Daddy?
(he was asking that when I snapped this picture) :)

Daddy & Julia mesmerized by the flames
(btw: both of them are Aries, which is a fire sign)

...a pic I NEVER thought I'd get HERE!! Who knows when this will happen again!

Me and my little girl all bundled up!
(it had tapered off to wet snow at this point)

Halloween 2010 Pics

I could give a play by play of our Halloween, but its pretty obvious. :) Shane didn't want to get into his costume at ALL - but as soon as we forgot about it and said whatever, he was willing to wear it. THEN HAD SO much FUN! He was an ADORABLE Buzz Lightyear! And Julia was the perfect lil devil! Watching Shane go up to doors, listening to his little voice say trick or treat, hearing him say Happy Halloween and THANK YOU to EVERY person - just melted our hearts.

Julia wasn't sure about the 'going up to houses' bit - but she did it and seemed ok after a few houses.

Lots of fun! :)
