Although I’m writing this post only in February, the snow that we’ve had this winter actually happened in January. So you will see that the post date for this blog entry is marked as January.
The winter blast for Seattle happened on January 18th, 19th and 20th. Though at first I did not believe that we were actually going to have snow, we had enough to keep most people working from home or just enjoying the snow. I did both as Rory had time off work. So with Emma at home as daycare was running on strange hours and not willing to risk going over the 520 bridge to get there, I enjoyed some snow breaks with the family.
I am late to write this post, because on Sunday morning January 22nd, we headed for a 2 week vacation to Hawaii. That post will come shortly either tonight or in the next few days. For now, here are some snow pictures to enjoy.
First, Rory and Emma enjoyed a few sled rides on our street. Yep, it’s steep enough that you can have a good ride. Our neighbor kids had a great time throughout the days.
I made sure to bundle Emma while she was outside. It’s fun to remember how bundled up I was in a one piece snow jumpsuit while I played outside in the snow in Romania. I remember being outside from morning till night never tiring of the cold or things to do. We would ice skate, through snow balls at each other and just have some jolly great time with the snow. These memories are ones that I treasure the most and I hope Emma will create great ones of her own!
With the winter snow around the house, the new house colors don’t look too bad. It is growing on me with every season.
Seattle had a 3 day winter wonderland in January. “Snow, please come again next year!”
