Flowers and snow

Goodness, January went fast. Without further ado, I give you the month in pictures.

Mom sent us these flowers when we were stricken with a G.I. bug. Nasty bug, pretty flowers.

Snow! Snow!! ACTUAL SNOW!!!

Eve took this picture of Samuel. (And of the snow! Which is sticking!)

Fat flakes in our backyard.

I wanna know... did you ever see the [snow]... comin' down.. onna sunny day.

The snow stuck for all of about one day before it melted, which is par for the course in our part of the Pacific NW. But the kids got to romp through it and throw snowballs, and Brian and I got to gaze out into the luminous night while it was falling, so I count myself blessed.
