snow day #4

 Yes, we DID get a really big snow on Tuesday into Wednesday which allowed us all to take a big old breath.  Sam's swim practice on Tuesday and school for all of us plus Sam's swim meet on Wednesday were all canceled.  I love the word "canceled" sometimes.  I don't think I would have gotten in any runs this week if it hadn't been for this storm that gave us 8 more inches of the sparkly whiteness and a whole day without anywhere we needed to go (except to the gym for some treadmill miles).

 We are pretty much buried in snow and I love it.  Jackson likes it too.

 And this guy?

 Reed has been asking about when his next birthday will be since the summer, and all summer I told him:  "Your birthday is not until it snows!"  And so in November when it snowed, he yelled:  "IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!"  And I had to keep saying, "not yet!"  And now, with plenty of snow as promised, it's Reed's 4th birthday.   He's off to school with a huge smile and a tray of cupcakes for his friends.  Happy birthday to my favorite little man.
