More Catching Up To Do . . .

The Rest of March

March 2nd was the day so many people got snow - even in Alabama. We only got about 6-7 inches here, but there was much more in surrounding areas. It was very cold (low 20's), but with a howling wind, which put the windchill in the low single digits and made snow drifts at least a foot deep in places. It was a wonderful day. The biggest snow I've seen since I've been here, but Sarah had one 13" the 1st winter when I was in Argentina.

Jackson preparing to go out in the snow.

We went driving around Valley Forge National Park. It was absolutely beautiful, and we were practically the only ones there.

I tried to do some sledding, but the snow was so dry and powdery you couldn't go anywhere. It didn't really matter - it was so beautiful and I just loved being out in it. If it didn't mean leaving Sarah and Jackson in the truck all day, I would like to have just sat there watching the snow and listening to the wind howling through the trees.

After the Valley Forge Trip we tried to take Jackson on his 1st sledding trip (other than the cookie sheet incident of a few weeks prior). Again, the snow was too powdery. Plus, it was so freakin freezing. You can hear the wind howling as Jackson and I go down the hill. That blew snow in his face, making the event even colder, which he wasn't crazy about.

A very long day of fun in the snow and trying new food. A long day for everyone.

Jackson and his friend Chloe.

Here's Jackson playing in his exersaucer. I finally got his silly laugh on camera. That's not him chocking - that's his funny laugh.

He often sleeps like this hugging his Stegosaurus . . .

. . . but he sleeps like this sometimes too. Butt in the air and feet crossed. I remember when Jon David slept with his butt in the air.

Big day in a man's life - 1st trip to Cabela's!!! There will be many more!

I'd been saving up gift cards for months and wasn't sure what I'd use them on, but I ended up getting a good fullfly fishing rig with a little money on the gift card to spare.

What kind of kid doesn't like applesauce?
