Where does the white go when the snow melts?

Well, this past weekend was packed (no pun intended) with snow, baby shopping and pizza! Ryan and I ventured out into the world of baby shopping for the first time! It was a little overwhelming at first, but we went in with a plan (of course, we’re Babl’s!) and decided to focus our efforts on cribs and travel systems - two items that will be crucial in the first few months of Baby Babl’s life. After nearly 2 hours (it’s like you enter a time conundrum when you step through the doors of baby land) we settled on a travel system (to register for) and narrowed our crib down to color and style. That’s progress!

As you can see from the picture and video, the weather man actually got it right this weekend. It snowed. And it snowed a lot for Alabama. We probably got a good 2-3 inches, maybe more, but certainly enough to transform our neighborhood into a winter wonderland of snowmen and driving hazards. Unfortunately or fortunately, the sun came out around noon and by 5 all that was left was a few sad, melted snow creatures. Of course, Bones thinks snow is the greatest gift ever (he’ll transition well to the Midwest should we make that move someday!) and had a blast licking, eating and running in the snow. Tilly (aka Miss Priss) was a little more hesitant, but eventually let go of her inhibitions and had a blast. You can see how hard it was still snowing in the video. You can probably also hear how loud I was laughing at those two nutcases!

In other news, the countdown continues until our BIG ultrasound. Just over a week! Ryan is finishing up a rough couple of weeks, but as of Friday, is officially on Spring Break!

Snow! Apparently is does happen; even in Alabama!
