SNOW!

Winter Storm Warnings/Advisories spread across the TV news' weather map from Tennessee to Pennsylvania yesterday. We were expected to get 5-10 inches of snow over the course of two days. It looks like we got quite a substantial amount, but I'm not sure if we really got what they expected. But, it is a beautiful sight outside and Millie was so excited to see snow outside her bedroom window this morning. She kept saying, "It's snow!" and "Snow!" Her childlike wonder at the powdery white stuff is adorable. We had a lovely breakfast of cinnamon pancakes and Millie darted about looking out the back window and giggling about the snow. After her nap we took her outside in front of our townhouse. We made snow angels and tromped through the snow drifts. Millie kept turning around and around saying with great excitement "Snow!" Her whole face lit up and she was very excited to be out in the beautiful snow. She thought it was great fun when I suggested we walk around in the snow like the penguins do. Ever since she saw the penguins at the Louisville Zoo she has been amused by penguins. Millie didn't really want to come in from playing in the snow, but Royce and I were losing feeling in our fingers. So, we persuaded her to come in and get some warm food and drink. I made her some hot chocolate, but she wasn't interested. Regular milk was more her thing. Royce and I thoroughly enjoyed our hot chocolate. We have some pictures to commemorate this year's winter storm, which I hope to post at some point. Our scanner is on the blink, so I will have to see about getting a photo CD or perhaps bringing pictures to scan at my parents' house next weekend.
