Snow 2013!

One of the many reasons I love loving in the south is that snow is like this rare exciting gift from above that sticks around for a day or two and then just melts away. Last Friday we got a little taste of snow and it was pretty exciting. Earlier that morning our friends Nathan and Owen came over early for a play date while their mommy went on a field trip with their big brother's school. Nathan and Owen are in the same Sunday school class as John Whitten and love each other. We had a great time playing together and John Whitten loved getting to spend time with his friends.

When Nathan and Owen left just before the snow started coming down heavily. Lillian and I couldn't wait to get outside, but John Whitten wasn't so sure about the white stuff falling from the sky. He kept saying, "no, no snow Mommy", and waving his little hands. So I put him down for a nap and Lillian and I went outside to play in it for a little while. We made snow angels and threw a few snow balls before we were both over it and ready to go inside. I like snow, but for a limited amount of time. Lucky for me that we live in Alabama where snow melts away usually just as quickly as it appeared. 

A friend of mine posted on their facebook something about wishing that they could see their child's expression as they witnessed their first snow fall. It made me so incredibly thankful for the opportunity that I have to stay home with Lillian and John Whitten. I loved seeing the excitement on Lillian's face when she looked out the window and realized that it was snowing. And it was halrious how John Whitten reacted...the complete opposite of his big sister.  I wouldn't trade this time at home with them for anything in the world.
