First Snow of 2007 Page 1

Journaling reads:
We woke up this morning and ate some breakfast then
went into Jacob’s room to play
when we heard Annie jumping at the sliding glass door window. When I went in to see what she was jumping at,
there it was:
falling down out of the sky.
thick and white and fluffy.
enticing for a little boy.
“oh Mommy, let’s go! Oh, Oh, where’s my snow boots?”
I didn’t even see him this excited on Christmas morning…
‘Okay,’ I thought. ‘Just for a little while.’
So we went out.
And we stayed out.
For 2 hours…
Red cheeks and happy as can be to be freezing.
He named his snowman “Frosty”.
He wanted to eat his carrot nose.
For 3 days after this day, he checked to see if
Frosty was still outside or if he had melted yet.
It was only a skiff of heavy snow, but to my little boy it was a winter wonderland.

The story behind how I took the picture of the "2007" is kinda funny. I sat my hot coffee mug down on our deck banister. When I picked it up I thought "Ooh. How cool. A perfect circle." Then the wheels started turning and I thought "I could incorporate this into something on one of my pages for winter this year.." So I made another circle and used my finger to draw the 2 and the 7.
Quirky, I know. But I like how it turned out.
