First Snow

I got up this morning and looked out the window and was surprised to see a layer of white snow on the ground. I was surprised because I thought the snow was predicted for the areas farther North of us (I guess you never can believe what those weather people say). As I'm eating my breakfast this morning I'm sitting there watching the little flurries fall to the ground. The site is so beautiful because the snow is untouched and there are no car tracks or foot prints messing it up. The snow on the branches of the trees and covering everything...it's just a beautiful site. It's quiet in the house this morning. School has a 2 hour delay, so my husband is taking advantage of that and sleeping in. When I asked if he was going to go out and shovel the driveway his reply was "It will melt." I thought that was kind of funny. He needs his sleep...he has had way too many late evenings out lately between a class he is taking, school meetings and church meetings. Isaac was up at 5:30am (due to teething I'm sure...he is cutting several molars and at least one if not two of his eye teeth), but is now fast asleep and sleeping later than usual. I on the other hand and up and getting ready. I get to go to the dentist today and get a cavity filled. This is only the fourth in my lifetime. I'm hoping the roads aren't too bad...I guess I'll just be sure to leave a little early. I can't wait to get home this afternoon and take Isaac out in his new sled he got for his birthday. He's going to love it. I'm going to love seeing the look on his face when he figures out what snow is :) It's going to be so much fun.
