i love this 10 year old

She's fun and silly, sweet and unselfish, generous and an absolute joy to have as a daughter!

first snow

This morning we woke up to a dusting of snow.  The girls were so excited that they threw a coat over their pajamas, slipped on a pair of shoes and went out to play in it for a bit.  Before we started school the sun came out and everything started melting.  It was a gorgeous, foggy haze with the water drops shimmering in the sun.  I grabbed the camera quick but just couldn't capture it. 

You can see their snow angels there in the grass. 

Our end of the lake has a super thin layer of ice.  Winter is coming.
