First day back to school... SNOW DAY!!

Well, Gabe is officially better and was cleared to return to school, and it was perfect timing too as today was to be his class field trip to Limerick Lanes for a bowling outing - Gabe's favorite thing!!

However- Gabe's first day back after missing two weeks of school with pneumonia... was a SNOW DAY!!

with "real" weather comes real weather clothes!!

Now that it's actually cold here (today it only got up to 17 degree's) we actually had to start bundling the kid up for the bus ride to school-

He's saying "HEY" and "HOT" poor kiddo waiting inside for the bus can be a little warm when it's cold outside!

He's a trooper though, and sooooo CUTE!!

Finally some real weather!

Last Friday they cancelled school for Gabriel because of a snow "storm"- but in all fairness... it really was the first real weather we have had, but we only got 3 inches!! It did make me a bit nostalgic for snow- those moments in the morning when you go outside and everything is muffled a bit, it's still and quiet- at least for a few moments anyway...

Here's a couple shots of our big snow...
By the way, that night it rained and the next day it was in the 40's so it's all melted again!! HA!!

feels like Michigan... and not in the good way!

This is the closest to Michigan it has been this year. Today the high is 23degrees and the low over night was 10degrees. When I put Gabe on the bus this morning- it was only 17degrees! We don't have any snow on the ground- we have had a flurry here and there but it's as cold as it has been this year today and it reminded me of February in Michigan.

Well, I spoke too soon!! The snow/wintery mix started around noon and went into the night- freezing rain, now followed by slightly warmer temperatures bringing rain and possibly more snow. Definitely starting to feel more like Michigan!

I must say- I miss the people- not the weather!!

Our first real snow! Well, kind of...

We got our first real snow last night, there were flurries one other time but not even enough to cover the grass, so this is neat! As you can see... it almost completely covers the grass!!

It has also stuck around since last night- it's 9am - so we might actually have some snow around for a while!!

Well, I guess not.

These next pictures were taken at noon the same day...

That was our short-lived taste of snow... better luck next time I guess!!
