Winter Wonderland

We are in the midst of having our first real snowy winter day. The day started out rainy. When we woke up from a nap around 2:30pm we had about 1/4 in of snow outside. And it just kept on coming. This morning we woke up to 7" of snow. Needless to say, school was cancelled, to Luis' delight. According to the news just about everything is shut down.

I just came in from playing outside with Q'Ori, the snow is powder the snow has melted where ever the sun has touched it. I forgot how much I loved the snow. I don't know if I'd want to have days and days of snow just yet. But it has been a nice change to have a winter wonderland. It made me think, what I would do with two small kids and needing to got to the store. Yuck!! But I can only seem to picture us leaving our old apartment. That going down those steps was dangerous with one child, I can't image doing it with two.

This is what it looked like as it was snowing, Yesterday.

Here are a couple of pictures from this morning.



Here is Q'Ori and I heading outside to play.

Q'Ori was helping Luis clean the patio.

Another picture is Q'Ori and I outside to play.

Valentines Day

Our family had a wonderful Valentine's Day. It started off to be a very relaxing Saturday. Later in the day we went to the Booker T. Washington Monument, which is about 30 minutes North of here.

If your not familiar with Booker T. Washington is, he was a very famous educator of African Americans. He was born into slavery, (the monument we visited is the plantation he was born on). After the Civil War, he eventually went to school and became a principal of Tuskegee Institute in Alabama (which I believe is still around today).

The Plantation was beautiful, they had some animals there, which was a little difficult for Q'Orianka. The horse scared her to death, she almost started crying. Then we saw some sheep, she didn't like them at first, but then once she got used to them, she didn't want to leave. She loved the chickens, roosters, geese and turkey's as well.
Here are some of the pictures from our outing. This first one is inside the house were Washington lived.


This is Q'Orianka running away from some sort of storage barn. When she saw Luis taking her picture she started running.

These are the sheep that scared her at first, but as you can tell, she's not scared any more.+

This was taken on the side of the barn, where the tobacco was stored after it was cut.
