Snowed in with a Princess!

So, we were planning to go to Franklin to see sweet Isabella on Monday.  But, with snow in the forecast for both here and there, we decided to get ahead of the weather and headed out Sunday after church.  We figured that if we were going to be snowed in, why not be snowed in with a Princess.    It didn’t start snowing in Franklin until after midnight and when we woke up on Monday morning there was 4-5 inches on the ground and it was so beautiful- just like our sweet little Isabella.  I couldn’t wait to show her the snow through the sunroom windows.  I think she was impressed, but you just can’t be sure what they think at 7 weeks!
 
We gave her a bath one night- all five of us were assigned a task.  One to get the water just right, one to disrobe the baby and then keep her warm, one to hold the towel ready for the hand-off and two to wash all those cute baby parts.  Bo said it reminded him of an oil change.  One baby and five people running around doing their respective jobs.  She was a little peeved at first, then relaxed and seemed to really enjoy it.  By the time we finished and the water started cooling you would think she was at the spa…totally relaxed and very interested at the baby in the mirror.
Here are a few pictures – I think you might enjoy them.

Snow Dog – January 30, 2010

 

What a nice end of the month surprise!  Over 6 inches of snow in my neighborhood on top of an inch of ice.  Not good for travel, but what a beautiful weekend God created for us.  Everything is pretty much closed down- schools and churches and many businesses.  I know the kiddies are having a ball.  Our 14 year old “puppy” Shelby used to be the ultimate Snow Dog, but not anymore.  She just tiptoes out, does her thing, and tiptoes back in the house where it is warm and toasty.  Here she is in the back courtyard in the snow. Isn’t she a pretty gal?

You may also notice that I haven’t gotten around to removing the Christmas bows from the rosemary plant.  I actually left them on purpose- kinda adds some color to dreary days.  If you look real close you can also see the Christmas lights on several of the shrubs and trees.  The back looked so pretty during the holidays when the lights were on that I just wasn’t ready to let them go.  Maybe when it’s time to trim again…..

I’m also sharing a couple of snow photos of my sweet great-nephew Anthony.  His mom tells me that he has loved every minute of the snow.  We’re so proud of him- he’s in the 3rd grade and so far this year is a straight A student!  He’s always been a shining light in our lives.

 

I hope you are having a warm and toasty day also.  And, as always, thanks for dropping by.
