most mornings simon wakes up and pulls up the blinds to look out the window (this might sound dangerous, but we’re with him of course).  yesterday morning, he kept pulling them up and looking back out.  i could tell he knew something was different but probably wasn’t sure what.  we had about 4 inches of snow yesterday.

we took a couple of quick walks during the day so he and Duke could check it out, then in the late afternoon we went out to take some pictures.  this could be the only snow of the winter, and if we stay in NC, who knows when Simon would see snow again.

we put baggies and rubberbands over his shoes so they wouldn’t get soaked.   there was certainly no need to buy the boy boots this winter, as quickly as he grows and as little winter weather as we see here.  he had a good time touching the snow and watching the dog play around.
