It seems a little weird to be talking about snow today, the warmest day we have had yet in 2011. But after all the serious talk about our son, I think it's time for a little Esther cuteness! And much of her cuteness this winter involved snow.
We could not find a sled that we really liked in the stores we checked, but our neighbor across the street lent us one that he keeps for when his grandkids visit, and it was perfect!! We have more than enough slope in our backyard to get going fast--in fact, we have to start at the bottom of our backyard hill or we will go
too fast and crash into the hedge at the boundary of our yard! But we had lots of fun. On the day we borrowed the sled I was feeling nostalgic about my baby's first experience sledding...and then realized that it was
my first experience sledding, too. There just isn't much scope for that sort of thing in Thailand. But I've discovered I like it!!!
My other personal first this winter was building a snowman. You know, the kind you always see pictures of, where kids roll snowballs along the ground until they are huge, and then stack them. I have tried it before, but either there wasn't enough snow or it wasn't the right consistency. But our last big snow was perfect! So Esther and I worked together...
...and created "Esther"! (Guess who named her!) Here are both Esthers posing together. Aren't they cute??

Definately very cute winter photos!!!! :)
Bill and I were walking up in our park one year and came upon a very nice hill. Lacking sleds, we pulled our coats down long enough to sit on, held the ends to keep them taut, and slid away. Grownups can have fun, too! ; )
But we weren't as cute as Esther!
