Random Shots Around Here

Strange as it may seem, we're thankful for every single flake that fell all day Thursday - ending up to be 9+ inches here in our town - officially, at least. It looks like more than that to me on these pictures of our picnic site from four days earlier.





But it doesn't take long for it to begin melting into the parched ground once it stops snowing and the temperature goes into the 40s.

The tulips keep pushing their way up.

I have to feel sorry for those which had already bloomed.

Little Miss Kate is taking after Grandma - Chocoholic-in-Training??




Her latest skill is standing alone. Can walking be far behind??

While her sister is working on walking, Miss Emma is more interested in talking. And another less desirable trick!

The big girls were engrossed in the t.v., wearing their adorable hats made for them by Barb. They spent several hours outside today making snowmen and forts, and lobbing snowballs at their cousins, aunt, uncle, and mom. They should sleep well tonight!

But before heading for bed, they let off yet more steam for Grandma. Too bad my camera isn't a bit faster. But you get the idea.

Have a blessed Sunday!
