snow bunny

today was a good day for some snow play. it's snowed several times already this season, but a saturday is always a little more motivation to get the kid out for some playing. granted she spent loads of time out and about in the snow last year, but this year she can actually explore it and appreciate it. so this morning we decided it was time to try out the new jacket (thank you ebay) and the new boots (thank you avery) and see how it went. last week isa got a little upset with cold hands and snow and a few slips on the ice, but this week we fared a little better. this time we didn't bother with mittens, which don't stand a chance, and decided to just let her do her thing. it was quite cute and comical and she seemed to be ok with it-- which is good, being that she will be skiing in the tetons this winter too!

and finally... three cheers for google video, which seems to be working atleast for now!
