Snow Day





For those of you that live in Portland, you know that when the weather people start talking up a snowstorm that it is usually a bust.  But every so often, we actually get something worthwhile....and today was one of those days.   

It is somewhere in the mid-20's which is very cold for this area.  And we have about four inches of snow on the ground near our house.   Granted, we are at about 700 ft. elevation - but still, there is some snow.

This morning we ventured out to try and make it to church - only to turn around when we got halfway down the hill to Capitol Hwy.   Too many cars in the ditch on the way down the hill - it was not only snowy but icy!!  So we have holed up for the day - cleaning, finishing Christmas cards, staying warm, watching movies.    

Noah is suffering from his first cold - poor little guy, breaks our heart.   But we are working to get him healthy.   So it is probably good that we are stuck inside away from people!!

Pictures:  Yesterday, Sampson family friends Dick and Nancy got to meet Noah.   Nancy, famous for her knitting - gave Noah a stocking cap.   He looks stylish we think.   Sam and Marketa also provided Noah with his "Milking It" onesie - nice.   Jesse chilling on a snowy day with the family.   Everyone trying to stay a little warm.

Happy Snow everyone:)
