winter is on its way

We had our first little skiff of snow the other day, and we all went out to enjoy it. It's all gone now (when the rain started Ari cried "Oh no! My snow!") but the forecast is calling for more, so we may be hauling out the winter gear before we know it. We have an old pair of tiny little cross country skis that strap to winter boots for Ari to try out, and our beloved snowshoes are awaiting the return of the snow. And a box of winter books to pull out, and a nature table to change over. It's easy to feel excited about winter at this time of year, not so easy 5 months in.

This baby is likely to spend a good deal of the winter like this, in the sling and bundled under woolly blankets. He seems pretty happy with the arrangement.

  4. What beautiful children - one embracing the coldness of the season - one enjoying the warmth. I'm so impressed by your blog - and happy to be catching up on your lives from afar. We think of you often and look forward to seeing you sometime soon. Until then I'll keep reading.
