Brothers

Dawson and Stratton enjoyed a lazy morning in their PJs today. It works well so far, because Stratton actually enjoys watching Dawson play with his (Stratton's) toys. I know that will not last forever...!
This was on a particularly warm day last week - we all enjoyed getting outside and kicking our shoes and socks off. Dawson just wanted to take it one step further.

Snow Day!!!!

It's March, so apparently it was time for Richmond to get some way overdue snow that we haven't seen in years. Yesterday morning, we woke up to about 8 inches of white fluffy stuff - plenty to shut down all schools and most work places. Eric got the day off work (we couldn't have gotten out of our neighborhood anyway) and was here to play outside with Dawson. Stratton has now gotten a cold, so I couldn't take him out, but while he napped, I did sneak out for a few minutes of playtime. I (stupidly) had left the camera on a close-up setting, so most of our shots from yesterday were blurry. I think I have a few good ones to share... (Just for the record, we did NOT all go and buy matching jackets. It was completely random that we all ended up with spectacularly matching royal blue ski jackets!)

Dawson is sitting on top of the snow turtle we made.

There was some good sledding in the morning on the road in our neighborhood.

Kind of blurry (and I can't figure out how to turn it on this site - sorry!)

It didn't take any coaching whatsover for Dawson to figure out how to throw, jump in, roll in, and generally, revel in, the snow!
