And now there is snow....

Last week was reminiscent of summer, this week it is the arctic. I can't keep up!

Today's high was 8 degrees with about 5 inches of snow accumulation. The kids came out to help me shovel this afternoon. It was a short lived expedition due to the cold.

William especially was thrilled to be outside. I would say he spent his time running around, but it would be more accurate to say that he was mostly horizontal. The poor guy still hasn't gotten the hang of walking/running on snow and ice.

(sorry about the runny nose!)

Eleanor and her friend Kylie from next door.

Nick sledding down the hill next to our house.

I think he is done.

After this last slip and fall William just stayed down with a look of utter resignation on his face. (Of course I do take a picture before picking up my poor little man.)

(Thanks for the boots and snowsuit Holly :o) We are using it this winter after all!)

Yep, this is January in Denver!

65 degrees and sunny today:o)
I had to rummage through the storage bins to find everyone short sleeves.

The kids had a blast playing outside. Yeah, no coats!


And I went to the store in a t-shirt and flip flops. Too weird!

Apparently it's going to be a warm week- 60s and sunny. I'll have to keep those storage bins handy for a few days longer.

We do hope some of this sun is heading your way Michigan friends and family....

But we'll pay for this lack of precipitation over the summer I'm sure. There have already been wild fires north of Boulder, which is unheard of in January. It'll be one dry summer here with some very unattractive brown grass!

Belated Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Sorry for the delay in posting Christmas photos. As you can see, we have a little "helper" in the house who has discovered a love of playing with our computer. Somehow he managed to interfere with the way the photos are uploaded from our camera. But we are at last back in business! For now anyway.....
