Winter Daze

January started the year off cold but clear. School was back in session and life returned to normal. That is until the second week of school. Winter came on in full force delivering a scant amount of snow but enough to cancel school for a day. Less than a week later, more snow fell resulting in school being let out at noon. The snow fall seemed rather insignificant compared to what we were used to in the north but they don't have the equipment down here to deal with snow and ice. I went to the grocery store the night before the first "big" snowfall to pick up a few odds and ends. Boy was I surprised to see whole shelves empty as if a famine were on the way and not a few inches of snow. There was literally only one bag of sugar left on the baking aisle! Does this seem a bit extreme to anyone else?

Eli really liked the look of the snow but was a wuss when it came to actually playing in it. After 5 minutes, he decided it was too cold. It took me longer then that to bundle him up. ARG!

The boys and I enjoyed getting together with both friends from Fort Smith and Russellville on several occasions for play dates and lunch. Thad really enjoys watching the other kids play and is anxious to be able to join in. He sits on his own now and continues to teeth...maybe someday soon we will see a tooth!

This weekend we enjoyed sunshine and temperatures in the low 70s. Talk about temperature fluctuations! It felt wonderful but they are forecasting snow and low 30s this week. Major bummer. You know what they say though...wait a few minutes and the weather will change again. This seems to be true no matter where you live!

Well, that is all for now but please take a look at the pictures.
