When I mentioned the refreshing nature of white space yesterday, this isn’t exactly what I had in mind.
But then again, I grew up here.
So what do you possibly do with a world of white?
First you have to do a lot of this:
Then you go and search for the famed hill of your daddy’s childhood.
Ready. Set. Go!
In Minnesota, it’s not just harsh weather, but harsh conditions. Three-year-olds must carry their own sleds up the steep hills.
Even when the snow is up to their knees. Uff-da!
Oh, but look at the rewards.
(Don’t let the picture fool you, this girl flies.)
Yes and wonderful in every wintry way (wait…wasn’t yesterday the first day of spring).
Lest you think that sledding with daddy is anything short of an adventure, ask yourself how the snow got on top of Ava’s hat. Oh, and check back tomorrow.
Did Nate come home early/not work today? How nice for you all to get out to go sledding! You must tell me where this hill is.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas….
Oh. Wait.
Love the pictures, Rachel — especially that last one. Can you come take pictures of me next time I go sledding?
Yes, the spring snow…we got it as well! Glad that you guys enjoyed it today, however!!!
GREAT pics of your sweet girl and her Daddy!
Oh, you are a clever one, Rachel! Love how you tied this post to the previous one. But, especially considering you are not originally from these parts, I must offer my apologies for the weather and for the fact that you had to tie in this post with the previous one!
By the way, your desk looks LOVELY!
Rachel, I never before realized how much Ava looks like you as I do in these photos. You have the exact same smile!
And congrats on cleaning up your clutter! I’m sure you feel light and airy now. Perfect for the first day of spring!
The more I read your blog the happier I am to be in STL although a sled ride would be fun!
