Laura loves her John Deere!

She'll stand in the snow...but she has snown no interest in actually playing in it or making a snowman or anything like that... so helping daddy on the tractor is about as much snow play as she's had this winter. Maybe next year she'll build a snowman...

Tractor rides. This girl is all about tractor rides... and big trucks and diggers and telephone poles and... anything else big and exciting outside.
(More about the diggers and big trucks and poles in another post another day...)

"OOooh! Scoopin' Snow!"
The week after Carson was born, we got hit with the biggest 2 snowstorms of the year (the only snowstorms of the year?)

Both kids were due for visits back to the pediatrician's - Carson for a weight recheck and Laura for an ear recheck... but the office closed on that Friday due to the big snow storm. We were up early enough to attempt to brave the weather but Rich had to go out and plow the driveway so we could get the van out of the garage. Would have just taken the truck and tramped through the show with it, but being a family of 4 now, we don't all fit in the truck... So, he headed out early and plowed - by the time he had the driveway almost all cleaned up was when the office called and cancelled. Oh well, had to be done anyways. These pictures were actually from a different storm the same week.
