First Snow!
I don't like snow. Well, I don't really like snow after dealing with it for a long time. But it's always exciting when you get your first really good snow of the season. And ours has come early this year!
Notice the nice (zipped-up) maternity coat that I am sporting in this picture. I had been wavering on whether or not to purchase a coat because I only have a month left to go. However, my desire for warmth finally trumped my frugality. Yesterday my mother and I went shopping and found a nice, cozy winter coat to fit the expanding dimensions of my belly. And boy, I sure didn't wait a moment too long! The lake-effect snow kicked in about an hour after our stop at the mall. A very fortunate event!
Then last night Ryan and I had to get out and play in the fresh, puffy snow. We threw on our coats over our pajamas and grabbed the camera. I think a few of the hall residents gave us funny looks on our way out the door. I often wonder what they think of us.... I mean, we are obviously older than them, married, and having a baby - BUT - then we have these moments when we can't help but play like little kids.
And then we woke up this morning to...
...MORE SNOW!
Here's a picture of Ryan digging out our car this morning, on his way to class. Even with a foot of snow, and more falling, the university didn't cancel classes. It's an unheard of luxery around here - an honest to goodness snow day.
I am enjoying the snow now. We'll see how long it lasts!

I was wondering who that lovely slim winter-wanderer was when I took a first glance at your photo... it wasn't until I read the post that I realized it was you in your *zipped-up maternity coat! I love your great big belly full of Michael Ryan, but I am also very happy you found such a becoming mommy-to-be coat! I know you've been longing just a little bit for petit-ness lately. Additionally, I completely support your purchase because we all know that coat will be used again...and again, and again, and... :-)
