Missing snow

I know it doesn't seem right... or even possible... to miss the snow. And I'm not going to tell you that I miss the snow for the whole winter, because I don't. When it gets to be February and March and it's 75 and sunny, I'll feel really good about the weather. But right now, when Christmas is approaching, this is when I miss snow the most. Even more this year because I want Luke to experience everything about Christmas, and I'm not going to lie... it's just not Christmas without snow...
So I went through all my pictures and found a few with snow. Keep in mind these are old, but bare with me...
This is from a sledding experience in Grand Forks, ND. We had a big snow... 10in or so... After sledding we tried to play on playground

But by that time everything was already starting to melt, because it was March, and we didn't have any real snow gear on, so we just got wet


This one is a way back picture... Yes that's me in the front, sledding with all my cousins on my Dads side... Corey, my sister Annie, Allison, Tanya, and Jeff.


Here is Josh flying in the winter time. He went flying with his friend Tim. Flying in winter is something he is pretty used to, he got his licence in the middle of winter, on his 17th birthday. Temps in Minnesota in January can easily be below zero.

Lastly, here is a view of the airport from the air.
I can't wait for the first time that Luke will get to play in the snow. Some of my best memories were made in a snow fort or on a sledding hill.

Mmmm... Squash

Today we took Luke to the doctors for his 4 month check up. He had to get some shots, that he did not enjoy. No teeth yet, and not really anytime soon. The doctor also told us that he was probly ready for some more solid foods. We decided to start with squash, because if he is anything like mom and dad and we start him with fruit he will never want to eat his veggies...
He wasn't so sure about it at first.But after a few tries he was enjoying himself, and even getting upset if I took too long to get him his next spoonful.
He ate quite a bit of it and probly would have finished the container if I had let him.

What a messy eater! But I think that he is excited about his new food. Next sweet potatos and carrots!
