Let it snow!

Teddy is going to think that it is "normal" for it to snow in Atlanta. He is just barely one and this is the fourth time it has snowed in Atlanta since he has been alive! We got somewhere between 3-5 inches of snow on Sunday night and as I type this on Wednesday night, we STILL have snow!! That is very unusual around here! We have been stuck at home for several days, but we have ventured out to walk around and of course take some pictures. Here is our house, covered in snow:

the backyard:

the bridge at the lake:

and the entrance to our neighborhood:

our neighborhood pool:

Shae worked from home on Monday and Tuesday because the roads were pretty bad. It is nice that he has a job that allows him to work from home if necessary. It is not so nice that he works in our downstairs... because in the winter it is really cold down there. Look at what Shae wore to "work" on Monday:

When Shae took a work break, we bundled Teddy up to take him outside for some fresh air:

and to play in the snow:

Although we were "snowed in" Teddy and I were still able to make it to playgroup on Monday thanks to Shae (who escorted us down the street). Shae pushed Teddy in the stroller for me since it was pretty icy (and I am not known for my gracefulness). On Tuesday we again decided to venture out into the snow.... but we couldn't find Teddy's mittens (just like the poor little kittens... ) So we had to improvise:

Yes, he does have socks on his hands... but it worked! Here's a shot of Teddy tasting the snow:

I am definitely a southerner for a reason. After three days of snow, I am very ready for it to melt! I am tired of our living room and am just thankful that we have friends with in walking distance that I have been able to visit with over the past few days! Here are a few other random pictures from the past week that I thought I would post. Teddy loves to play with his farm animals:

But he does NOT seem to love the sit-and-spin:

We still have the decorations up from Teddy's birthday party. I was actually going to take them down yesterday but Shae said I should keep them up until after Aunt Sam visits us this weekend... so they are still up! I wanted to get a picture of the three of us by Teddy's birthday sign, but every time someone was over who could take it, I forgot to ask. Finally Shae decided he could set up the camera with the timer to take it himself. Here are some of the pictures he took:

Since our house is split level and the sign was hanging from the upstairs, taking a picture with the self timer was just the sort of challenge that Shae enjoys. Although it took a few adjustments, we were able to get the pictures above. How did we get them? Check out what the camera was on top of:

I love my engineer husband!

Lastly I forgot to post this video earlier. I love it because it captures Teddy's awesome laughing (and his awesomely silly daddy):
