As Predicted - Our First Snow


That's our Alaskan girl - bathrobe, extra tuffs and a big bottle of wine (empty of course). Its snowing hard right now and blowing. The weather service did not predict the storm but I had a feeling (check my last blog post) we'd get one. It always snows when I leave Kodiak. At this point I just hope we do get out! We are scheduled to leave this evening, fly all night, and reach Boston tomorrow. It'll Nora and I with the etch-a-sketch and books while Stu and Zoya sleep.

Today, when I got home with Nora from a trip in Zoya's car, Nora just gravitated to the snow. She kicked it with her boots and slid them back and forth. I made a snowball - so she copied me and made one too. Despite the lack of adequate gear she was adamant about staying outside. I had to drag her kicking and screaming inside. But I am very relieved that she seems to enjoy snow. That's my side coming out! Patrick

Is that a BINKY in Nora's mouth???

Oh, that picture has got to be your Christmas card this year with some witty saying on it. It's hysterical!

Adorable picture Zoya! I miss the slush (errr, snow) from Kodiak.

I am laughing out loud! Keep this picture to blackmail Nora when she's older - she looks like she knows she's doing something wrong, the little disheveled boozer.
