The First Snowfall

Well, believe it or not we had our first snowfall yesterday! It's been snowing in the mountains for several weeks now, but it finally moved it's way down to us yesterday afternoon. It was so beautiful. The flakes were huge....probably dime size! We had a cozy fire and watched it snow for a while. Most of it melted pretty fast, leaving only traces of white this morning. But, then it started snowing again this evening. Smaller flakes this time, but it is adding up fast! It is so pretty, and the nice thing is, it's not too cold yet...in the low 30's! Preston was so funny yesterday. I woke him up a little early from his nap so he could see the first snowfall. As he was waking up, I told him it was snowing and in a half cognitive voice he said, "Right now (or white now)....it's snowing white now? That means Santa Claus is coming!" Gotta love kids!
Here's a quick update on the kids...
-Preston is fully potty trained now (except for sleeping). So much so, that I didn't pack any extra clothes for him at church yesterday. Daddy had to drop him off at class because I had to be at church early for Worship Team practice. I think Daddy forgot to remind him to tell his teacher if he needed to potty. Sure enough, he had an accident. You can imagine my embarrasent when I peeked in on him to see him running around Sunday School class with no pants...his bright orange dinasaur underwear really stood out! Praise the Lord (literally) that another mom had an extra pair of pants and let him borrow them!

-Payton is scooting all of the floor like a little army man. She is pulling and pushing herself around, getting up on her knees, but not doing the traditional crawl yet. Preston is quickly learing to keep his things picked up off the floor! Shee pooped out a light brite piece today (from her cousins house)!

-Payton is finally feeling better after having diahrea for a week. I discovered it was because of antibiotics I was on due to mastitis (that's no fun by the way). I'm glad she's feeling better, but now she's used to waking up once or twice a night....and I'm a softy and having a hard time making her cry herself back to sleep now!

That's about it for now. Oh, my washing machine broke so I'm getting a new stackable set next week! And, I had my annual girls weekend with my girlfriends up here last weekend. We went to a little "remote" cabin for the weekend and had a blast. I'll post more about it with pictures soon!
