The forbidden fruit. Day 11.

I literally have forbidden fruit in my home.

That special child. Day 10.

I have a special child. He’s been special since before he was even born. He was the one who decided to start labor at 35 weeks 6 days. He was the one who decided to have respiratory distress. He was the one who decided to stay in the NICU for 5 days. He’s the one who has severe eczema.

The mess I hide. Day 9.

Ok. Let’s be real with each other. Where’s the room or closet where you shove all your clutter before company comes over??

Shoveling it. Day 8.

“It’s gonna snow,” they said. “It’ll be fun,” they said.

Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink. Day 7.

I was sleeping so peacefully. 

Sledding. Day 6.

So. We got the snow I wanted and we got lots of it. Depending on where we measured in our yard, we had 6-7″ of snow. It definitely made this former Florida family very happy.

Pretty little snowflakes. Day 5.

One of my most favorite things about living in the mountains is snow. Having grown up in Florida, I totally lose my mind when I see a pretty little snowflake in my 15 day weather forecast. And, the loooonnnngggg, agonizing wait begins.
