Snow Day---Part 2

Zane coming down the hill.

See, I was there too! We had a great morning and then went for lunch as the snow started to melt. That's the best part of living in Georgia. We get to see the beautiful snow and take time off to enjoy but then it melts quickly and we can get back to a snow-free reality! :)

Snow Day!

We got lots of snow yesterday and it was the good kind....not the icy, dry kind we usually get. It started just before the kids got off the bus and kept snowing until around midnight. We have around 4 inches but it is melting fast in the sunshine today. We got the kids up early to go sledding. That is a rare treat in Georgia! They had a blast, except Sam. He wiped out on the first run of the day and was ready to go after that.

Here is the crew headed up for the first run...

Will came down first. He loved it!

Meet Max

We got a dog! The kids have asked for years and I always told them that after everyone was potty trained we could discuss it. They have remembered this and took me up on it a few weeks ago. We rescued him from a shelter. He is 8 weeks old and he is a German Shepherd mix. We are hoping that he will be big enough to go running with me by next year. :)

His name is Maxwell. The kids call him Max...except Kate. She calls him Maxey. I'm sure he loves it. He is super mellow for a puppy. He lets Sam drag him all over the house and lay all over him without making a fuss. The kids are great about feeding and walking him (we will see how long that lasts!).

Here is one of Sam making Max look at the camera. Doesn't he look thrilled?
