Is there a theme going around?

Well it seems there is a theme going around.
The Amboy Observer reported snow, then I see Jen has snow too and I am left wondering…where is all of our snow? We didn’t get any.

I kid, I kid.

I don’t know the lows and highs exactly because I don’t have snappy equipment but I know the high was cold and the low is currently a lot colder. The last I checked, just now, the ‘stat by the kitchen door reads -6.4C.

I have so many other pictures that I don’t really want to pass them by with the snow but, I must.

Okay, except for this one of Emma smiling, she likes to smile.

Okay, now that we have THAT out of the way, on to the snow.

Abby and I went sledding. We worked up slowly to the big hill, and after the preparation, the first trip down the “Big Hill” (which had 14 year olds screaming in fright), Abby was proud to declare

Hooray! I am big enough!
I’m a big girl Daddy! I can go down the big hill!
Yayyy!
I am big enough Daddy!

I’m doing it!

It was fast enough to blow my hat off.
Who knew the somtimes timid Abigail is an adrenaline junkie!

  1. WHOA!! I will worry about that adrenaline junkie! I was sort of timid myself when I was young [THAT I remember, so there!!] and I know I did things that my folks STILL don’t know about.

    I think!!

    Great Pictures, Lief!

  2. I don’t understand why you say Abby is timid. I distinctly remember her shouting, “higher, Daddy, higher!” as you were swinging her from the floor to the ceiling. Then, a few weeks ago she discovered, “Daddy, I’m up to the ceiling!”

    Do you suppose she might someday go in search of a high cliff (or bridge) to jump into the water from? And perhaps she will go sky diving, and bungee jumping? Let’s hope she has a little more of Angela’s common sense, and she will turn back before it starts to rain.
