We had the privilege of waking up to an inch or two of snow yesterday morning.  Ansley hadn’t seen any snow since she was a few months old.  Allison brought Ansley into our room and I hadn’t even made it out of bed, but I had opened the window to see outside.  The first thing that Ansley did is say, “Hi, Daddy.”  She hadn’t yet noticed the strange event occurring outside.  Allison prompted her to look out the window, where she said, “Daddy, what is that?”  It was pretty cute and I was upset that I didn’t have the video camera rolling to catch it.  This is my attempt to preserve the moment.

We managed to get Ansley all bundled up to go outside for a few minutes before getting ready for Church.  Unfortunately, Ansley did not have any proper shoes for playing in the snow, so most of our time was spent in the driveway catching the snowflakes and playing with some of Ansley’s favorite outside toys, including ‘farmer’, a ride-on toy that plays Old Macdonald, and her bubble mower.  I don’t think that she minded that we didn’t play in the snow.  She kept saying that everything was ’dirty.’  This is also the same reaction we had at the beach.  The girl does not like to get her hands, feet, or anything else for that matter covered with any foreign substance.  Snow definitely fits that bill in Alabama.

Here is a quick video of one of Ansley’s favorite commercials.

I am currently trying to get this site up and running. I am looking at different ways to add media to this page. I would like to be able to add both photographs and video clips. Stay tuned for updates and don’t be surprised if the page ends up looking quite different. I expect it to take a few weeks before I settle on a final design.

We are still in Birmingham visiting with my parents at this time. Christmas was two days ago, but it’s easy to want to hold on to the season for as long as possible, especially since this was Ansley’s first. She doesn’t necessarily know what Christmas is about, but she did enjoy the excitement of everything. I think

I know that she did enjoy the music and Christmas lights. It has been fun watching as she discovers new things everyday.

I know that I am jumping from subject to subject, but Muh-muh and I gave her a ‘Lion’ walker for Christmas and after just a few hours she was walking across the room behind it. We may have to hide it from her so she doesn’t learn too quickly. Oh well, either way it is fun and exciting. She can probably crawl faster than she will be able to walk for a while.

Maybe when the media ability is added to the site, I will get some pictures of her ‘walking’ behind her Lion.
