House Hat

Oh man, is it cold in our house. Our heat does a bad job getting to the back bedrooms and I worry about Marigold getting cold. We use the addition of a space heater for sleep time and a fireplace in our main room that does wonders. BUT, during those really cold days a house hat was in order. It's not like an outside hat. Outside hats tend to look like animals like a frog or a cow, or vegetables like an eggplant. House hat's make you look like an elf. An adorable, happy and funny elf that keeps me from worrying too much when Casey is trying to get home in a snow storm. Okay, I was still really worried but taking 150 pictures of a cute elf really helps.









First Snow

It's such a magical thing to watch your child experience things for the first time. Marigold and I spent the first snowy morning looking out our big living room window. She was so focused on the movement of the snow. She would get really excited and start jumping and then freeze and just stare. When I got her all bundled up we went outside to feel it. She was so quiet and observant. Every once in a while she would babble softly to a weed or the wind but other than that she was very still with watchful eyes. Welcome to snow love bug!

She fell over once and didn't even try to move. She just stared at me. I thought this was funny. What do you think she thought?!
