at long last...a few photos of Lucy are here!

It snowed!

And here are some photos to prove it.

Those are all before the last 9 or so inches we got last Tuesday-Wednesday.

november-december photos

First, a link to photos from November and December.

Now, a little story about the adventure Rowan and I had on Monday. It was a super-nice day, like 60 degrees out, and I eventually managed to convince Rowan it was a good idea to go outside after her nap. So we walked over to Westover to get an ice cream cone at Arax (the little Armenian coffee shop). It was great. Then we went to the library for story time. Saw our neighbor Madeline there, had a good time. At one point I asked Rowan if she needed to go to the bathroom and she said she did so we went over and waited for someone else to come out. As soon as we're in there she declared she didn't have to go after all (argh) and just wanted to wash her hands.

After story time we headed back to the playground behind the library because we still had a little daylight left. Played for a couple minutes and Rowan said she needed to pee. We headed to not-very-private grassy spot outside the playground, pulled her pants down, but before they were off (or out of the way) she peed all over them (and me a bit). Doh! At least I had extra clothes, right? Back at the stroller I found extra undies & socks, but no pants. I did have some leggings that were meant as an extra layer in case it got colder, so she changed into those and had a good time playing a bit more and looking ridiculous.

Then it started to get dark, so we headed back home to cook dinner. But before we'd gone 20 yards it started raining. This was not in the forecast. I was not prepared for walking Rowan a mile home in the rain. So we ducked into the Lost Dog with the idea that we could eat dinner there and hopefully the rain would stop by the time we were done. No shirt, no shoes, no service...but apparently no pants is ok (as long as you're only two years old). Nate actually got home from work while we were eating and then met us there (with the car) so we ended up not having to walk back at all, though indeed, the rain did stop during dinner.

And they lived happily ever after.

I'm blogging!

ok, i'm starting this blog not because i want to be a blogger, but because it seems like it'll be an easier way to update friends & family with news and photos than sending out mass emails once in a blue moon. we'll see how it goes.
