Snow Day!

In case you had not heard, Atlanta was hit with a major snowstorm last Sunday.  6 inches of snow+ice made it a treacherous week.  This area does not get hit with storms of this condition so not only does anybody not know what to do, but there aren't enough trucks or people to clear roads, etc.  Most people didn't go to work Monday or Tuesday (Bryan included). They actually cancelled school before it even started snowing on Sunday night & schools stayed closed the ENTIRE week.  It stayed below freezing for most of the week so the ice froze, then re-froze, etc etc etc.  Anyways Monday the snow was awesome & Brody got to play in it! We had so much fun!  Enjoy the pics!

Getting all Bundled up!

My face is frozen solid!!

I did not like this ride!!

Scared stiff!

Winter Wonderland!

Peek-a-boo!

Now that I'm a Dad, I'm amazed by Brody's excitement for life everyday. I wonder what's going through his mind as he looks and grabs at stuff and then holds it up close to his face until he goes cross-eyed (temporarily though!). He seems excited by the smallest things in life and it reminds me how easy it is to forget about the amazing things around me. Regardless of what's going on with me, after a long day, his smiles and laughter can change everything in just a few seconds. How can you not change after seeing this? If only I could see my everyday life more through his eyes :-)

Santa Claus: A Recap

Brody's first Christmas did not come with a shortage of Santa Claus.  He got to meet him 3 different times.  Santa Claus came out early before Thanksgiving where he first met him at the mall (picture in the Blog Post below). He met him for the 2nd time at Bryan's work party.  They had a Christmas party just for the kids complete with presents, Chick-fil-A, Krispy Kreme and of course Santa.  The 3rd time he met Santa at a kids storytime in our subdivision. He got an extra surprise because Mrs. Claus was there too.  I am happy to report that Brody was on the nice list and recieved everything he asked for.
