A Mommy Story

(Note: My apologies to Bloglines readers for the ginormous pictures you’re about to see. They resize better in Blogger when they’re in the original size, rather than scaling them down first in Flickr, then in Blogger’s format.)

Yesterday morning, I got up at 6am and peeked out the window to see if the snow that was forecasted had begun. Nothing. So I went back to bed for a little bit.

Then, I woke up around 9:30am, looked outside, and was greeted with a winter wonderland of snow. Everything had a thick white blanket of snow on it, and the snow was still coming down heavy.

Seeing that this was the first significant snow of the season, I would have enjoyed spending the day taking Cordy out to play in the snow. But Sunday is when I must go to class for my Microbiology lab. So, while I spent the afternoon knee-deep in live bacteria (fun, eh?), Aaron and Cordy spent the afternoon ankle-deep in snow.

At least Aaron took pictures so I could see how the afternoon went:

I’m usually the one behind the camera, so I was impressed with some of the pictures Aaron took, especially that last one with the glint of the freezing rain on her hair and coat. (I’m not saying he’s bad photographer – he just doesn’t get as much practice as I do. And I’m certainly no professional!) Of course, there were some not so good shots as well, but hey, no one’s perfect.

I’m glad they got the chance to have some daddy-daughter fun time. It makes it all the more special to come home and see both of them happy and exhausted from playing together.
