White Friday

After a pretty miserable week of below zero temps and snow a warming trend is finally here. We awoke to a beautiful sunny day with an inch of fresh powder over everything. Today was the day for Henry to get his first day of skiing in!
We got to use our backpack for the first time and it worked very well. I wore Henry around the house for awhile to try it out and he loved it.
Here Henry is all ready to go:

Due to the amount of snow on the ground, we can actually ski from our front door over to the high school's athletic fields, they make a nice place to ski if the snow is new...

Henry Weeks 17-19

Winter arrived yesterday

We had our first snowfall yesterday. Henry was in his jumparoo and kept turning to look out the window. He was watching it snow! This morning we woke up to a very wintry looking scene. It was very heavy wet snow, and it was cold... obviously. Joe wasn't around, but I wanted to be sure I had a picture of Henry in the snow. Don't judge, it's the best I could do without actually laying him down in it.

The dog days of Fall

If you live in Bozeman this fall has been very warm. Some love it, it has extended the summer and for Holly and I and given us some semblance of a summer when we spent the actual summer in a infant induced stupor.
We've been lucky and getting out when we can with Henry. He loves to go for walks and really seems engaged with nature around him. He loves to say 'woo woo' at the trees as we walk by.
Henry is very sad to see fall turn to winter, though he really doesn't know why yet. Holly has a date with our neighbor to take him out on a ski-converted chariot when the snow starts flying.
