Life, as you know, doesn't fall directly under a neat, clean 'category'.....neither does this blog post. It's a mixture of a little sweet, a little silly, a little tasty and a little snowy. And now that I have a new lens in my arsenal, I can now record it all that much more closely. Here are a few shots from our weekend (with my new lens, of course). It was a very strange, very nice Mother's Day weekend. It was a little bit of everything. Hope all you mothers out there were able to celebrate this day with the ones you love.
Some night-time snuggles with dad before goodnights are said.
The last thing Sven wanted to do was pose for some test shots after a long day at work. Isn't he a trooper though? He even smiled!
One of the kids' favorite activities is to snuggle up on the couch together with one of Grandma G's many blankets. I think Nikolas actually wanted to sleep, but Emalie just wanted to play.
Some serious computer studying going on here......
And then it happened, the forecasters were actually right......S-N-O-W .....15 hours and 10" worth of it. Just when you get used to wearing shorts again, Mother nature pulls another crazy stunt! My poor, poor lilacs.....
While everything outside was freezing, we were all cozy in the house watching movies (mom's picks, of course!) and enjoying Sven's fabulous cooking (see the lobster in there? Mmmm!)
And the grand finale, when it finally stopped snowing. I should have measured it-- it was somewhere between 9-12". It's amazing how different snow can be at different times of the year. This stuff was no pleasure to shovel, let me tell you. It's been 3 days and my arms and back are still sore!
Although this looks like a lot of snow, it reminds me of a similar picture I took when we lived in MD and we had literally received 5 FEET of snow. Ahhh, this is nothing!
