Huge Snow

Wren went to bed early this evening after missing most of his midday nap. He has not had a fever today but remains very up and down emotionally. I think he is still feeling unwell but on the mend. Here he is yesterday while he had a high fever and was watching Wiggles.


This morning we had a brief but heavy snowfall of the largest snowflakes I have ever seen. Even though it was fairly warm (by winter standards) the snow stuck for a while until it turned to rain. I don't think these pictures do it justice but the snowflakes were around an inch in diameter and I think they must have been aggregates of many crystals. It was beautiful to look up int the sky because you could follow a single flake as it fell from far away. While the sky usually looks 'flat' the huge grey flakes made the sky remarkably three dimensional. It was very unusual.




Here is Wren at Breafast (before the emotional meltdowns). He has just figured out how to fake smile.

Isn't the snow CRAZY?? I like it for the first couple minutes... but I am really ready for some sunshine!! Wren is so cute- fake smile and all! Sorry he wasn't feeling well. Nothing a warm blankie and the wiggles can't tackle.

Thanks Mimi
Wren is feeling better today - he is feeding the cats a "treat" of wet catfood which is going on the floor. Uh oh.

The snow was amazing but I am ready for warm weather too.
