Cincinnati got a blast of winter weather over the past 36 hours and Emma had the opportunity to experience falling snow. We were so excited to bundle her up and take her out to the yard to see the snow falling from the sky. We were sorely disappointed by her reaction. Emma is usually so expressive and interactive but with the snow she just looked at us like she was saying "it is cold and why are we out here again?". Enjoy the pictures and video. She looked SOOO precious in her snowsuit and hat and mittens.
As a side note, we were very glad to have electricity today. The storm dumped 8 inches of snow with 1/2 inch of ice sandwiched in between and out electricity went out at 6am and we began to panic a little as to how we would keep Emma warm in 20 degree weather without heat. We laid in bed and talked about the many ways things could be worse and prayed and an hour later the electricity came back on...that was even more amazing considering the situation in September when it took a week for the power to come back on in many parts of the city. We are so thankful for the Lord's provision and safety even when we feel so vulnerable. Emma and I also enjoyed having Mike home the past two days...I guess it is God's way of preparing us for him being home with us indefinitely starting Monday.
Emma's first encounter with falling snow
Emma was staring at the snow falling out the window. It was very sweet. She was mesmerized by it until she gagged herself.

Those pictures of her reaction are hysterical :) I think we have discovered 4 is the magic age where they enjoy the snow-Abby is finally loving it and Caleb gives us the same look Emma gave you!
Oh my goodness - we love the hat and mittens! Preston has the same ones in the blue (boy) color! We just love Old Navy!
Emma, you look so very cute in your snowsuit! Soon you can come to Colorado to go skiing!
I love you - Tante Janet
I think your rosy cheeks are the most precious thing ever. Maybe you and Sammy can go sledriding together someday with your dad and Uncle Andrew while your mommy and Aunt Abby go shopping. I miss you so much! Love, Aunt Abby
