We thought we were moving south to avoid such cold weather but I guess we didn't move far enough south! This week it is not suppose to get above 38...well actually 38 was the high today and that is the highest it is going to be all week! Adah and I woke up to snow this morning and it didn't stop until noon and then started again after Adah got up from her nap! She loves to stand at the back door and watch it fall and collect on the balcony! We decided to stay in today and not venture out into the cold but since Adah loved the snow (it is her first actual snow that she is able to understand) I dress her warm and we went out onto the patio to check it out! We didn't last long because it was FREEZING!

After we came in Adah decided to put on her shades and take her baby for a spin!

This is right after it stopped snowing the first time...we got more after this!
Our view! To the right...not pictured is actually the church that we have been going to!

Adah Is 19 months!

My sweet baby Adah! How much you have grown in just 19 short months! You amaze me everyday with the things you seem to have learned over night and how much you have grown and formed your own unique little personality! I just love you to death! This is the last update I will do on you before you become a big sister! I know that you will be such a great big sister! You just love babies and love your baby dolls! Once you get over the initial fact of not being the only one that gets mommy and daddy's attention you are going to be the best big sister there ever was!

Decorating Christmas cookies...nothing fancy but Adah loved it and that is all that matters!

She doesn't like for her hands to be dirty!

Checking out her cookie!

"Really Dad?! Your gonna keep taking pictures? Really?"

The next too are just random and cute....she likes to drag her toys over to the window so she can use them to stand on and look out!
