L and I went outside to play in the fresh snow this morning. I think we got about 6 inches of snow before it changed to rain/freezing rain this afternoon. On our way back in I saw half a dozen robins flitting about. I did a double take because even though it is only minus 7, it is still overall freezing temperatures with 2 feet of snow on the ground. They really were robins and it doesn’t feel like spring just yet. So I did some research on migration of robins and I guess they migrate if they run out of food (which is fruit when they can’t get earthworms). According to the link, robins were sighted in 2007 earlier than February 22nd in Manitoba.

A 2 year old is fun
Until now I have enjoyed L, but always looked forward to what he would do next. Lately I have found myself wishing he could stay 2 years old, he won’t be this cute at 14.

New Snow
We woke up to new powder snow this morning, so we went out to play in it. Oh yeah, it’s also thawing–a nice change from Manitoba temperatures.
Back from Holiday
We’re back from our 2-week whirlwind tour of Manitoba. We celebrated Christmas, birthdays, and the New Year. It was difficult to say goodbye, but we really don’t miss the frigid temperatures we left behind.
