Today was our first big snowfall of the season...not to mention our first snow day where Derek and I didn't have to go to school! It's been a great, relaxing day of playing in the snow, shoveling, and snuggling inside to keep warm. We must have gotten at least 14 inches of snow and it's still snowing! When I was little I always remember those huge snowstorms where we could build tunnels and forts at the end of the driveway. Today is one of those days! Tessa has loved playing out there while Nolan didn't show quite as much excitement as Tessa did! :)
We actually had a snowstorm exactly one year ago today which canceled classes that day also. A day that we will never forget. Last year on December 9, 2008, we had to travel to the hospital to have my surgery following one of the worst days of our lives. The day that our baby (gestational age of sixteen weeks) traveled to heaven and became our guardian angel. A year ago it felt as if our world had crumbled, yet the rest of the world just kept going on like our world didn't matter. A year ago a piece of my heart was taken from me. It's unbelievable to think how much can happen in one year. Not only did we pick up the pieces that had crumbled to the floor, but we brought the second love of our life into this world...baby Nolan! To think back a year ago brings chills to my spine, while at the same time looking ahead to our future brings a smile to my face. We are so lucky to have the children and angels in our life that we have.
Enjoy the snow, enjoy the winter, and enjoy the holiday celebrations that are heading our way!
