Sneaux Day

Friday, we had a snow day here in central Louisiana. Snow is extremely rare here (our last snow day was three years ago). Jeremy didn't have to go in to work until 11, so we got to play together in the snow!

There's something about a layer of snow. It makes everything look like a painting. Lewis had a blast licking the snow everywhere he went. It didn't take long for him to want to get back in the warm house, though.

We bundled J up in so many layers and walked to the pond. He is a little too young to care about snow and he didn't enjoy it as much as the rest of us. I do wish we lived somewhere that got more snow. But being a very cold-natured person and having Raynaud's, I don't last long out there before my hands are screaming for more blood.

And, of course, you have to follow up ten minutes in the snow with a good hour-long nap with Daniel Tiger. (I have to admit, I was worn out too.) Of course, no one here is equipped for snow and we're all a bit scared of it, so the kids were out of school and a lot of businesses were closed. By Saturday afternoon all the snow was gone and replaced by nasty mud. (We KNOW what to do with mud! Just ask my husband who spent the whole day mud riding.) But we sure enjoyed it while it was here. Come more often, sneaux!

It's just these simple things

February 2008- Once upon a time there was a girl named Erin and a boy named Jeremy. They met at a high school basketball game, he got her number and the rest is history.

May 2010- They graduated together and Jeremy decided he wanted to be with Erin for the rest of his life.

April 2012- The wedding was beautiful and they were more in love than ever.

August 2012- They found out that their family was going to grow!

April 2013- Welcome to the world, Jameson Maddox. You are the most loved little boy ever.

So, here we are. Nine months later.

After daydreaming about starting a blog for a few years now, I've decided to give it a whirl. My main focus for this blog is to document my family in a more creative way than a diary or a photo album. I want to record my family's experiences in a way that can be shared with my son when he is older. There is no doubt in my mind that it will be somewhat random, but, hey so is life.
