Jorgensen Journal: February 2011

I've been so excited to try out Connor's "hand-me-down" snowsuit, and it finally fits him! It was a nice, sunny day, with new snow on the ground - so it was the perfect day to let Connor go at it for the first time. He loved walking in the snow - but did not like falling in the snow. He got his face and hands pretty cold from falling a lot, but finally got the hang of it. Here's a few highlights from his morning ...

Connor all bundled up - ready to go outside in the snow! ... What first came to my mind when I saw him dressed like this was the movie, "A Christmas Story." ...

He finally was able to walk in the snow without falling every three or four steps ...

Happy "snow day" Connor! He had a blast, and I'm sure we'll be out doing this again soon ...

With Nate being in New York over Valentine's Day, and myself being in Utah, we had to get a little creative. I decided to make "homemade Valentine cards" and send them to Nate with pictures of us from when we were dating, with a love quote in each one. I had so much fun making the cards with my mother-in-law, that I ended up making 14 cards! So I sent one in the mail each day up until Valentine's Day. It was super cheesy, but isn't that what Valentine's Day is all about? :)
