First Snow of the Season

It started snowing up a storm this afternoon, and Casey watched in awe through our balcony door, waiting impatiently for Darby to wake up from his nap so we could all go out. He's young enough that snow still seems new and interesting each year.



I think this counts as Darby's first official snow, since last year he was still too new to notice. I remember that Casey kind of freaked out the very first time I took him out in the snow, when he was about this age. But Darby took it in stride and was quite happy. He loves to be outside, and he's a good sport in general.



Look, snow sticks to mittens. Amazing!



This is a pretty slippery sidewalk to be trying this maneuver (that is, standing). But no children were injured in the making of this photo.



Or this one, for that matter.
