first snow

I don't know about you guys, but our household is in a complete frenzy today.

Yesterday the kids glimpsed the first snowflakes of the season up at Grami and Grandpa's.
This morning I decided to wait and see who would be the first to notice their new world of white.

Not surprisingly, it was Gwyneth, upon sitting up to the table for breakfast. "It's snowing!" And they could hardly sit still long enough to eat.
There were shouts of joy, squeals of delight and stimulating conversation ("God makes some pretty tricky things!") as they scrambled out the door to taste, tromp and throw.
Even Adah was awestruck, gazing out at all that white stuff with her nose and hands pressed tightly against the window.

Seeing our world through my children's eyes is breathtaking.
Watching my children discover is beyond compare.
