A Dose of Snow

Arizona's pretty amazing when it comes to versatility of climate. Right now it's mild and lovely in Phoenix, but drive two hours north and you've got genuine winter as I know it. We spent last weekend in Flagstaff thanks to Adam's co-worker inviting us. They have a house in Munds Park, 15 miles outside of Flagstaff. We drove up on a clear Friday night and the next morning we woke up to a wintry white wonderland.

They have two kids, a boy and a girl, too, and their mom is 8.5 months pregnant with a third! They were sooooo nice to host us.

Especially because this little guy kept us (mostly me) up all night. He is sick AGAIN and I was the one to do combat with him and his stuffed up nose from dusk until dawn. I think I slept a total of 45 minutes that night. Here he is, miserable, but with squeezable applesauce and Martha Stewart Living, things were looking up.

A bright-eyed, cheery Bird, ready to hit the sledding slopes.

Adam bit off more than he could chew by starting the day off with a very steep hill that, unbeknownst to him, had a big jump/drop off at the end. The sled broke, flew out from under them, and he and Sienna tumbled through the air in a daddy-daughter snowball.

Yikes!

Let's try that again. Down the hill they went to a much smaller hill.

Noah loved the mini-hill and went down five times with his daddy.

And then he wanted to be held by mommy.

It was a cooooooooold day.


After sledding we went to their favorite Indian/Nepalese/Tebetian buffet restaurant. It was really good!

And back at the house, finally warming up by the wood burning stove and watching a movie.


May we please own a home in Flagstaff someday, too!
