By now you know about the freak snowstorm that blanketed Austin and other parts of Texas in a nice cushy thick (we had 3 inches in the front yard) blanket of snow. For the better part of the morning, this was happening outside our windows. It was beautiful.


I wasn’t going to let them outside since we’ve been rather sick lately and three-to-one is not the kind of ratio I like to have stacked against me. I caved in, though, when the oldest begged for a snowball fight. How many more years will it be before I can give him a snowball fight, afterall? It was definitely not a day to get portraits of the boys, though I tried! My oldest two boys (4 years old and 3 years old) were all over the place and would not hold still.

We built two snowmen and enjoyed an afternoon with their daddy home. The school district let the middle schools out at 12:30, so my husband was able to come home shortly after the students were released. He likely won’t be featured on the blog much in the future so I’ll share a photo of him below. I love this man so much.

Despite what it feels like today, spring IS right around the corner. Hard to believe that a month from now it will be time to get bluebonnet portraits taken! I’m still thinking it’s going to be a big year for bluebonnets. How about you? Do you think we’ll see many?
