snow, Snow, SnoW, SNOW!!!

The first really big snowstorm Eli has seen proved to be very exciting. First, Chris had a lovely adventure coming home (in the car) in the middle of the mess Friday. He eventually had to ditch the car and walk four blocks home, but contends he could have made it if everybody else would have just gotten out of the way.

What happened out here?

Then we sat at home and watched it snow and snow and snow (about 16 inches worth). Eli for the first time really seemed to notice that something weird was going on outside. On Saturday afternoon, we took him out to see the wonders and he was so engrossed by the oddity that none of these picture have any smiles in them. We think he had a good time though, and he certainly wore himself out.

Yeah, I'm going to need a little help here.

Chris stomped down a baby path and Eli walked around and around.

We all had a good time in the snow if truth be told.

The snow was too dry to make a snowman, but after a little melting, our dear neighbor Gary was able to build a snowman for Eli in the driveway on Sunday. He said he had to do something with all that snow! Eli was not at all sure what to make of it.

What is this?

In other news, Eli had his 15-month check-up on Friday (morning) and is continuing to be tall and not very chubby (33.25 inches and 25lb 4oz).

We were finally able to get the Christmas shopping done yesterday and now Chris and I are really looking forward to the day!
