A few more snow pics from NH. So muh snow! When Raph arrived here in Pittsburgh, my dad said "nice to see you." Raph responded, "nice to see the ground!" Please not icicles hanging from Larry's nose!

First snow angel.

He didn't like it that much, but I wasn't too mean. I picked him up.

We got a load of snow last night - came down super-fast, like sleep after a long day, or waking up six times at night. I shoveled at 4:30, Raph at 9:00. And there was still more to shovel this morning. Raph and I went to work today, leaving in the dark, watching the clouds turn on, the snowy world come to life. There were already sled tracks in some places. That is something I like about winter, sled tracks on the most negligible of hills pop up as fast as crocus in the spring. Forget big thrilling sled spots - the kids will take the two-foot decline in the front yard, and over and over.

I leave Maine today until after Christmas. In case anyone is around/interested in touching base, Makili and I'll be in the Burgh the 17th-28th...hopefully with less show snoveling to do.
