austin snow day

i mentioned the snow in my previous post. it really is a novel thing in austin. pretty much most of the state will get snow at some point in the winter months, but not our city. our terrain is a major reason for that, i think. anyway, i was driving through a shopping center when it started coming down and had to laugh. i felt like i was watching a hallmark commercial and strangers were about to start hugging in the parking lot. it was great to see the childlike joy on their faces.

my daughter was super excited too. she's two, almost three, so the perfect age to see her first snow. she played long enough to get the cutest pink nose.
