snow day

I was sitting at the kitchen island when I heard a little voice saying, "More."  I looked to my left and this is what I spotted -- James, my nephew, trying to get his tiny fingers on more crackers.

My mom is going through old memory boxes in preparation for my baby shower, and this is a gem she came across -- a book I apparently wrote in elementary school.  The pictured part is a little About the Author segment where it talks about me (apparently I liked to play soccer? news to me) and a book I had published.  Well, you can read the title yourself...

Cali's first snowfall.  The best part was she acted exactly as Fenway does in the snow-- stuffing her face in it, sniffing it and continuing to run in circles around the yard.  Both girls refused to come in when I started to get numb.  No surprise there.
