Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!

I've been a wee bit absent. It has been a busy couple of weeks with Jonathan trying to finish up with the semester, me trying to tie together loose ends at work (plus coordinating our family holiday craft night) and of course general preparations for our trip to Iowa.

This morning we woke up to... snow. Real snow that sticks to the ground and stays there. We've been telling Gabriella for weeks that she would see snow in Iowa so when she woke up to a full coating of the white stuff she thought it was time to go to Iowa! It has been snowing pretty steadily all day. This is a pretty big deal for the Portland valley. Last year we had a couple flurries, but nothing that stuck.

Hopefully these pictures of Gabriella enjoying the snow will make up for my limited blogging.
