First Snow - 43 Days until move

I guess it is really Liam's second snow, but during the last one he was only six months old and not able to go out and play around. This year is the first time he can walk and enjoy some of the fun stuff.

Aunt Doris bought him a snow suit for Christmas and we were beginning to think that he would never get to use it. It has not been below zero all winter until now, but the snow pretty much exploded down on us since then... Either my mother or my sister sent him the matching Toronto Maple Leafs hat and mittens.
Once he got outside he seemed very confused. This was the same front walk that he is used to seeing every day, but it looked so different he really did not know what to make of it.
Then we found the first big pile of snow where I had shoveled the walk. He was pretty interested and clearly needed to investigate things.
After a few moments he got over the strangeness of it and seemed to like it. He seemed annoyed that the snow stuck to his boots and he could not shake it off. We borrowed a sled and Claudia took him out for a little pull around in it. He liked it, but he had a bit of a hard time staying stitting up and stable when the sled bounced around too much. He is still a little guy after all.

You should get Liam a little snowboard and build a half pipe in the backyard.

Dave, I am going to build a fort in my backyard for you to come and play in.

Dave, the last thing you want to do is go to Ponter's house.

For the love of all that's holy, stay away.

Liam looks too cute! I'm guessing Julian will experience his first snow fall much later in life....
