Snowpocalypse!

So, no Finn shots, but wanted to get some of the storm we had over the weekend up and posted. I went out snowshoeing on Saturday afternoon in the midst of everything to check it all out and thought some of the pix were kinda fun.


I know this is nothing for you folks up in New England or out west, but still pretty impressive for us flatlanders....


Happy holidays to all!!

That's my car under there....

And that's our deck.

Grillin' blizzard burgers

Wish I'd put the grill cover back on

REALLY wish I'd put the grill cover back on...

Snow!

Hi all-


Finn's doing well and looking forward to his first Xmas. Well, honestly, he has no idea what's going on, but he's a big fan of the various packages that keep showing up at the house. It's occurred to both mom and dad that a Christmas composed entirely of boxes, ribbons and crinkly paper might've been our best bet.


We got our tree up last weekend and the boy's totally pumped about it. The only way he'd be more pumped is if we let him put the whole thing in his mouth.


We've been getting out as much as possible lately and Finn has been a real trooper about all the various layers his mom insists on bundling him up in. (Yes, if it were up to his dad, the boy would run naked through the streets... Yet another reason we're all so lucky to have Mags in our lives!)


Speaking of running, Finn has discovered "assisted walking" or what some people would refer to as "cruising." This largely entails watching Finn clamber his way up to the vertical on any object within reach (ottoman, chair, table, wall, pants) and then shuffling around said object, parent or parents hovering in the immediate vicinity with breath held and arms outstretched for the inevitable tumble. A lot of the time this results in harmless bumps on the rear; just as often it seems to result in a bonked noggin, plenty of hollering and tons of parental guilt. "The floor's carpeted, I'm sure he's fine," or, "Holy, My God, he's done irreversible harm to his mellon and we'll forever be to blame when he can't muddle his way through Chem 101!"


Sorry, that's probably just dad projecting....


Anyway, Finn rode on his first swing last week (we've got a vid but Blogspot won't let us post it for some reason; share your outrage with them) and got out into his first snowstorm on Saturday. All in all, not too shabby a week!


Everybody's doing well (fairly healthy, not terribly wealth, but incredibly wise!), and we all send our love and best wishes for the holidays!


Peace and baby grease...
