Caleb's First Snow

"I'm just so excited, daddy!"

"I love the snow.  It's hard to wave with this on my hand though!"

Okay, so technically this isn't Caleb's FIRST snow...we had a big snow storm last winter, but poor Caleb was still in the hospital and didn't get to enjoy it!  We took him out today and he actually liked it.  The cold didn't seem to bother him and he would laugh every time a snowflake hit him in the face.  We're glad he found it so amusing.

We have been out of school since Tuesday due to snow and ice (obviously) and classes have been canceled the rest of the week.  We haven't measured how much fell at our house, but we're guessing it's somewhere between 5 and 6 inches.  So far, we have been fortunate enough not to lose power.   We did lose a few big branches off some trees, but that's about it.  

On a more serious note (sorta), we have been reading our "original" blog that we created when Caleb was born.  On this day last year, we were granted custody of Caleb by the Family Court.  We also got to hold our son for the first time...he was attached to so many tubes and on a ventilator.  He only weighed 2 lbs 11 oz and was 15 1/4" long.

 Today, Caleb is a wild man!!  He is all over the place and hates to be still.  Today, Caleb weighs 20 lbs 11oz and is 28 1/4" long.  He continues to bring us so much joy and holding him today, and everyday, is an awesome reminder of how far he has come.  God is good!

Blessings,
