snow storm

About 9" of great powdery snow fell yesterday. This morning, the sky was clear and the sledding was perfect. The trees were outlined in white, and everything was covered with a nice padding. Elliot wouldn't wear his own "mitts" but after some cajoling, he put on "mommy's mitts." He lasted for about an hour before having an "i'm cold" attack and demanding to go inside.

This photo was taken the last day of our recent trip to Vermont. Over President's Day weekend, we went up to a small town called Huntington with our friends Charlie, Rachel, Matt, Michelle and Eva. The trip was a blast. Lots of skiing, lots of falling on my butt, lots of good drink and good friends. And a little bit of sleeplessness because Elliot was a being a pill.

Finally asleep

Elliot wouldn't sleep today. We drove around town for about an hour while he struggled with closing his eyes. Finally, I parked in the arboretum near our house and read a book while he snored away. Ah, the joys of fatherhood.
