Snow Clouds

Did someone say snow??? After we dropped Dad off at the airport on Friday Luke, Drew, Carson and I headed to the grocery store for bread and milk. It just seemed like the thing to do because there was a mention of snow that was to start at 4 am Saturday morning. This is the South ya'll and it just doesn't snow around here every day!!! In the meantime, Carson was starting to show signs of not feeling well so, just to be cautious, I scheduled a doctor's appointment for Friday afternoon. After all, what if we got snowed in with a sick baby on a holiday weekend...

After a very stressful afternoon at the doctor, Carson was diagnosed with his first ear infection. This diagnosis is especially ominous considering the battle Luke had with ear infections starting at 6 months old. Unfortunately, the ear infection was the least of our concerns because he also had a whopping fever of 103.6. Daddy had to be called in for reinforcements because the attempted blood draw nearly put Mama under the table, although somehow my precious baby was falling asleep while they were fishing the needle under his baby skin! Thank God for my wonderful neighbor Ronda. She watched Luke for me all afternoon and then had dinner ready for us when we got home. Don't know what I would do without her! Needless to say, we had several sleepless nights over the weekend, but the little guy is doing so much better now. He's also getting a tooth on top to go with his two on the bottom which didn't help with his comfort level. Funny thing about the new tooth...it isn't one of his top center teeth, it's kinda off to the left a little bit. Our little chomper may be renamed our little snaggle tooth pretty soon.

Luke woke up Saturday morning extremely disappointed that there was no snow. Here is the extent of our conversation:
Luke: Mama, it forgot to snow.
Me: Maybe it will snow a little bit later.
Luke: Maybe it will snow A LOT later.
And then, as he's looking out the window, he proceeds to say, "Those sure look like snow clouds". He was right, because an hour later we got some snow. It's a good thing it snowed because he was laying on our hardwood floors telling us he was making snow angels. I wanted to say, "no baby, those are just dust bunnies", but I digress...here is a little video of his snow angel:

Below are some other photos of LJ playing in the snow with his friends, doesn't he look happy! You should also check out Ronda's blog if you want to see a cute slideshow of everyone playing in the snow.
