Snow (Ice, Really) Days...

My last post was about how wonderfully warm the weather has been for the month of January. Now, just 2 days later, it has been below freezing since Tuesday and most schools have been closed for 3...going on 4...days. That is Texas for you!

The blessing of all of this icy weather is that my husband has had to work from home! Yes, this can be challenging as our 18 month old just wants to play with Daddy all day. However, we have worked out a pretty good system, and I sure like having lunch with both of my men! Here are some pictures from our "ice-vacation", home-bound style.

This snowsuit was borrowed from my parent's attic. Love how vintage and large it is on my little one. It sure kept him warm and happy though!

 J has the best Daddy. He took J out to play in this cold, cold weather at least once a day. J appreciated it and I appreciated it even more. An energetic 18 month old gets a bit stir-crazy in the house all day.

 This makes me smile...Alot!

 Not sure what he is doing here.

 Scott has become the pro at getting J to nap. This picture melts my heart. He LOVES his Daddy!

 Flashlight time... J loved it and continued to be a favorite that I played with him throughout the day.

 Scott would shine the flashlight on the ceiling and J would squeal excitedly that it was "the MOON"! He has had a unique interest in the moon since he was about 9 months old and could not believe it was in our house! :)

Bedtime...J loves for Daddy to do "X marks the Spot" on his back before bed. It is the only time of day that he is awake and absolutely still. 

God has blessed me beyond measure with the most loving, serving and handsome husband who is also the world's best Dad. And, I have the sweetest baby in the whole wide world!
