The FuzzmopsFamily in Motion

This morning we woke up to a snow covered yard under a bright blue sky. The snow closed school for the second day in a row.

Over the last day and a half we’ve accumulated about 18 inches of snow. Our little world is again covered in a fluffy layer of powdered sugar. Chloe, Luna and I trudged out into the backyard to have a look around. Everything looked beautiful.

Luna just loves bounding out into the snow. The old girl runs like a pup out there.

This morning when I woke up I was surprised to see that more snow had fallen. The trees in our yard were wearing blankets of fluff. The world was quiet and peaceful.

Snowy Backyard

Early this morning the snow began to fall, gently covering our neighborhood in a layer of powdered sugar. Kenny and Chloe were monkeying around outside. Each time Chloe would turn her back Kenny would pelt her with a shovel full of snow. She loved every minute of it

New Years Eve Snow

On Monday school was closed because of the snow. “Snow Day.” Those two words are like magic to a child. Chloe and I spent part of the morning sledding down the snow pile that the plow made at the end of our driveway. A perfect start to a surprise day off.

Too much snow for the buses to get through.

Watching Luna barrel outside, rabbit hopping though the deep snow is great. As soon as she gets out into the powder, she is a puppy again. At 10 years old after playing for a while she gets stiff when she comes inside. She circles around the house looking for a nice warm spot to curl up and make some z’s until it’s time to go outside again.

Luna the Snowdog

When we got up on Sunday morning we found that the snow elves had deposited nearly two feet of fluff in our world. Few things excite a kid like the simple pleasure of playing in the snow. We quickly got our snow clothes on and headed for the door. Chloe stepped out first into the powder.

When Chloe finished up her Christmas list one of the final touches that she added was “snow”. Looks like old St. Nick came through ahead of schedule!

Last Night Before the Big Snow

Chloe Wished for Snow for Christmas

As we walked through the streets last night at around 8:30, our toes were covered in snow. This morning when we woke up the world had been blanketed by nearly two feet of fluff with a few more inches expected. Way to go, Santa! You made one little person extra happy today.

Today the first big snow of the season began to fall. We put on our snow gear and headed out into the night for a walk around the neighborhood. There is always something peaceful about the freshly falling snow at night. It is so nice to walk out in the world when everyone else is tucked away in the warmth of their houses. There were no cars on the streets, no other people walking; just us three and one snow dog strolling along.

First Snow of the Season

Chloe went to bed with excited talk of what the snow will look like in the morning. Snowballs, snowmen, sleigh riding – a Christmas-time Sunday in the snow. That’s what the dreams of 8 year olds are made of.
