I was able to go outside this morning with my camera. Jacob, Ethan, and Grace were up and outside by 7 and they didn’t come in until almost 9! It was lovely being out, but I was afraid I was going to slip and fall. There are some hilly spots on our property. Perfect for sledding but hard for Mommy to walk on. (um. Did I just call myself Mommy?)
A snow girl made by Grace:
I could have invented lace today.
Who, I say, WHO lives HERE? This is a hole that is way over by the woods at the end of one of the ponds. (AWAY from the house, in other words) Grace says Angie was investigating and that’s her pawprint in the picture. Does a mouse family live here? I feel a Beatrix Potter moment coming on!
My little bird:
Walking in a
Winter Wonderland
Good to be Home 
Oh, these are WONDERFUL! I think I’m going for a walk with my camera even though there is no snow ~
I love the “lace” ones and the pink-topped snowlady is adorable. I also love the one with the stones. What is the red stuff under the trees?
Oh what beautiful pictures! You got a lot more snow than we did. We just got a little dusting. I was disappointed. I’m glad your kids had so much fun playing.
awwwwww……pleasssseeeee send a wee little bit my way……love the pics
Shanda,
What beauty! You did a great job capturing it!
Love these pictures — the snowman is so cute!! The snow on the trees is beautiful!! Your times with your children brings back memories of the times I played in the snow, rode downhill, made snowmen, snow angels and just had a great time with my children (two boys, one girl) — now I’m waiting for grandchildren! Your shopping trip sounded wonderful — I love to shop alone! Daddy reading to his children — how wonderful!! My husband spent a lot of time with our children (we still do though they’re grown and married) — what a blessing! Sounds like you’re feeling better — God bless.
wow! Those pictures are amazing! I wonder who might live in the little hole tucked away from it all?? My DD (age 6) thinks it is too big of a print to be a bunny but not right to be a racoon either…she is an animal LOVER and asked me to ask you to let us know if you “catch” the little critter scurring into his home….. 🙂
No ~ I was wondering about the red-hued stuff under the trees in the second picture, but the closer I look, I think perhaps it is some red-leafed plant growing ??
Brrrr….but wonderous. I like the closeups of the snow on the pine with the clear droplets…I feel like I can reach out and touch it
beautiful pics “mommy” =] lol
i think i like you : ).
i’ve read through this whole page of posts & said to myself….”she sounds like you mary!”
thanks for stopping by. your family seems precious.
i love the contrast of your black & white named “my little bird”….great job!
have a wonderful, hot chocolate weekend,
mary
Goodness, you definitely got a bit more than we did. We had about an inch, but it unfortunately all melted by about 11 this morning 😦 But I have hope we’ll get more soon. I’m so glad you guys got to play in it a bit, you’re looking lovely in that picture, as always. I’ll talk to you soon, I hope. Love, Trish
A wonderful picture of you. You look contented. : )
Snowwoman – at least I assume that with the pink. .lol Great pictures
Looks like you’ve been ‘blessed’ with much snow as well!!
Gorgeous pictures. I just love those close-ups of the snow on the pine needles!!
Once again…..what a beautiful post!:):) I just love the pictures you take. You have such a good eye!
How fun to go shopping alone and to find such great treasures. I’m so glad you were able to do that. We all need a little re-fueling time, don’t we?
Oh….what good news that your tests so far have come back good. You are in my prayers!
Jana
I call myself mommy all the time…I hate it, but I can’t stop doing it…haha. Great pics of the snow! so pretty 🙂
Look at all your comments! You are so sweet and special yourself. I love all your pictures. It truly looks like a winter wonderland at your house.
Great shots! Every one of them! You look great! Hugs!
I just love your blog so much! I know I’m in for a blessing when I come here! Great pics!
20 comments! Look how many people you bless with your photography and words!
Beautiful pictures!
ooooooohhhhh, make me jealous. I enjoyed the teeny weeny bit of snow here for the hour or two it lasted, but I’m itching for a big snowstorm.
What a beautiful and inspiring area you must live in! I love all these gorgeous pictures. #1 is so cute, and that is a lovely one of Grace! 🙂 Thank you for thinking of my husband. He is doing better each day! Enjoy your weekend! Love, Heather
I want snow! We’ve only had a couple dustings so far. Beautiful pics, by the way~ Laurel
I love the snow girl.
your snowman made me smile… and I needed that today! thanks.
Beautiful.
You have a natural eye for photography! Loved the photos!
can’t show my kids these pics, they are dying for a snow fall. Beautiful pictures as always. Are you feeling better today? Love, Michelle
The second picture down, pulled me in, I would have played under there as a child and claimed it as “my territory”.
Do the kids have a flashlight? I am curious about that hole.
Great Pictures!! I love to take pics whenever i can!
I wish we had more snow too! I live in Ohio and we have just been cold in my area, with a little bit of snow! (up near the lake it is worse) Now even enough to make a snowman :(, but the kids did get a 2 hr delay yesterday because of the ice on the roads!!! loved stopping by your site!
