How surprised we were to wake up and find it snowing around 8am this morning. While the kids have played in snow on several occasions, they have never actually seen snow fall and they were in awe. As the flurries started coming down faster, Jeremiah exclaimed, "It's a blizzard!" Ha! Far from it. The snow wasn't even sticking. But, it was still snowing as we drove to Imago for the 1st service--awesome to see the kids' reactions. After lunch, we got surprised by another little "snowstorm". This time, it was actually collecting on the car and the porch steps and even in the grass. So the kids went outside to play in it for a little while. It lasted about 20 minutes before the sun came out and the snow started melting. What a delight to experience our first Portland "snow". We're still hoping for some real snow we can sled in. We may go off in search of some tomorrow on our unplugged day (the kids have the day off from school). Yay for snow!

Snowballs!
Peter still rode his bike to work, as usual!
