Snow, Snow, Snow

Well, we are having our first snowfall of the season.  It is 4pm and it's been snowing since about 7am.  It's been snowing pretty consistently, so we have quite a bit of the white stuff.  We did bundle Josiah up and took him outside for a little stroll to get the mail.  Mommy had a hard time finding a jacket to button up with my big ol' Sophie belly.  I wasn't too cold because as Chris put it, "You have a built in heater."  Josiah looked like a marshmallow man with his winter jacket on--I will be posting pictures at some point today. 

We've had a pretty lazy day.  We started off this morning by having a family breakfast of pancakes as we watched the snow falling.  Then we played in front of the fireplace.  I was able to get my Christmas letters in the envelopes--now we just need to seal them--I think I was pass that job off to Chris--all that glue CAN'T be safe for Sophie!   Then we had some baked potatoes for lunch with all the fixin's and then took a nap.  We will probably hang out and play some more before we make Calzones for dinner.  Good think I'm pregnant so I don't have to feel bad about eating all this good food.

I was supposed to have a baby shower today, but because the snow came earlier than expected we thought it best to let everyone stay in the safety of their home.  If church isn't cancelled tomorrow then we will just do after the service.  With all this snow, I'm praying that Sophie's day of arrival won't be filled with a big snow storm.

Everyone is doing well though.  Josiah and I have had a bit of a stomach bug since last weekend.  No fevers or anything, so we're thankful for that.  I'm doing much better, but Josiah still has his moments when things aren't settling very well.  He's been in great spirits and still full of energy, so I guess he isn't too bothered by it!

I can't believe we are only 7 weeks away from our due date.  Chris has started some painting.  He primed Josiah's room yesterday and plans to paint it on Tuesday, then paint Sophie's room on Friday.  We got her bedding yesterday and still waiting for the changing table to arrive.  So before much longer we will have her nursery all ready for her arrival.  I will try to get Chris to take a picture of my belly, so you can see the growth that she is making.

Well, I should get going--Josiah has figured out how to take the knobs off from our cabinet, so I guess  I need to go do a little more supervising before he destroys something serious!
