What will they look like, these snowy days?

I think of winter and immediately feel overwhelmed. Our time outdoors shrinking from hours of play a day to minutes (mittens fall off, noses get cold, babies get wet.) Putting on snowsuits and mittens and hats and boots is...not fun to say the least. Anyway, I won't go on and on. I'll just say that today was a good reminder that yes, it will be a challenge, but there will be beauty as well.

Beauty in feeling warm and cozy inside while the weather whirls and twirls outside.


Beauty in finding indoor activities that the babes like, such as smooshy homemade play-doh that smells like pumpkin spice--mmm mmm. )


Beauty in the fact that our friends come and keep us company no matter what the weather:)



Beauty in the outdoor play. Even though it was short, and there were a few falls while getting used to wearing boots, seeing them squeal and crunch through the snow was so much fun. It will be a challenge for me to stay content in this area for sure. But don't they look cute in their winter wear? :)



Beauty in a little girl staying up to see her daddy. Poor Sam, he tried so hard. He was the one crying "dada, dada" when he went to sleep but he just couldn't make himself stay awake. Amelia didn't last long once she was in her Papa bear's arms:)



And so our days will go. And I'll try and stay focused on the beauty. And I'll try to be thankful for each new day. All for tonight, Jen
