Let it snow .. except when I have to go somewhere

It snowed all day yesterday. It must have snowed all night, as well. When we woke up this morning, there was SO MUCH SNOW (even in non-British terms)!!!

(This is just because Edith is so supremely cute!)
It's still snowing. I thought that it had stopped, but was sadly mistaken. Anyway, after breakfast, I thought that it would be fun to take Edith out for her first (real .. since last year could hardly count; she was way too young to even be aware) snow. It lasted less than 5 minutes. I put her wellies on .. which are a size too big, 2 sweaters, mittens, a scarf, her hat, and a wool coat (yes, she's a red coat) and out we went.

She's not really standing in the snow. It was way too deep for her little legs.

Like I said, the wellies are too big. This is where we went inside.


And just as a side note, Edith loves socks.


Hey look! an update!!

I needed a bit of practice, so Ash went outside with Edith and we shot a few photos. I was really happy with the way that they turned out. Here are two of my favorites.

Ash is doing "round and round the garden" with Edith in this picture. She loves it!
I realized that there are loads of pictures of Edith with her daddy, but very few with mummy. Ash has been really working on taking some of the two of us since we made the discovery. This is one of my favorites.





These little beauties were for the ward's munch and mingle on Halloween. I thought that they were so funny (and creepy, as Martha Steward promised). They were malt cupcakes with a green (obviously) chocolate malt icing. I loved them, but oddly enough, they didn't go down as well as expected with the kiddies.





Photography

I've finally got my website up and running, though it is currently being tweaked. Still! For the first web page I've ever made, I am feeling pretty good about myself!! Woo Hoo!!


Because I can

I finally got Edith's hair in quazi pigtails!! Woo hoo!! Obviously, it was a very momentous occasion for me. Unfortunately, it is not frequently repeated. Edith likes to play with her hair .. especially when she has food in her hand.



One afternoon in Clumber Park ...





ONE

Our beautiful baby has turned 1. I can hardly believe it!!!
We really had a great day with Conference and visitors. She didn't really have much of a clue what was going on, but she got sweet things. That said, she didn't really know what to do with the cake and a good majority of it ended up on the floor. Cake isn't fruit, after all, and Edith loves her fruit!

Ash and I woke got her up pretty quickly after she made noise. Probably pretty mean, since she was basically woken up by the parental paparazzi.
