the first snow of the season!

finally, some pics of the snow. sorry i haven't posted...we've been playing (and doing homework and going to school and grocery shopping - why does life have to go on??)
here's joshua and bailey looking at the snow as it's just beginning to accumulate!
precious!
more precious!
oh, the excitement!
snowball fight...Rebekah was just watching...taking it ALL in! all the kids in our neighborhood are SO kind and patient with my "little" kids
joshua shoveled the whole walk to our front door! even after the rest of us came in, he stayed out there and finished. he can be a very hard worker when he puts his mind to it. i didn't even ask him - he just got it in his mind to do it!
my attempt at some "nature" photography. just love the snow on the green with the red berries and the white Christmas light on the bush!
Bailey has gotten so many compliments on these pink boots today! :-)
the sun came out, so the snow is "drowning" - that's what Joshua calls it...and he's very frustrated by it
um...i have no words for this picture - it almost makes my heart stop.

ditto for this one - she is so adorable.

by the way, the hat she's wearing, my dear friend from college, Kate Schwabe, knitted it with her 2 beautiful hands for Rebekah when she was a year old. Rebekah wore it for a couple years, and now Bailey has worn it for a couple years. SUCH a priceless gift!
