More Snow

Richmond is fortunate enough to be going through it's third major snowstorm in 10 months. We feel blessed to have been here for all of it! I (only half-jokingly) mentioned to John that Mother Nature felt bad that we lived in the land of constant summer for a few years and is making up for all the winter fun that we missed during that time! So far, our snow total today is around 13 inches.

John was lucky enough to purchase a shovel from Lowe's earlier this week so we no longer have to improvise when it comes to digging ourselves out. That shovel got a good breaking in earlier today! He also found a sled under our deck that's just Brennan's size. With no hill in our yard, we created a sledding ramp by packing down snow on the steps off our deck. It worked pretty well until Brennan discovered that coming face-first off the sled at the bottom was just not a fun experience. That ended our sledding expedition for the day with the thought that we'll try again tomorrow.


Another great way to spend the day: baking! This pregnant mama has definitely been wanting some chocolate, so a great way to satisfy the craving was by baking some Cowboy Cookies. Yum!
