Snow in the Desert

The cat felt the need to lick the snow.

It's hard to accept that my BABY just walks around like the rest of them.

All the snowballs were headed for me!  Zade was the best aim!

Let it be known (in case the kids later need to recall this for their therapists), we haven't bought winter gear in a couple years.  Our family size and make-up changed fairly regularly for a while.  Soren can be seen above with one appropriate snow glove, although it will fit him better in a few years.  He felt fortunate to get one.  Zade had none, mostly because he was the one having a blast in the snow and not crying of the cold from the other little knit gloves.  Tobias got beautiful purple mittens.  Asa had some nice pink ones.  I will be keeping my eyes out at the thrift stores this summer, I guess, now that I know I basically only need boy stuff.
