Andy took the boys home, and Sophie and I went down the side of the big hill a couple times—she loved it.
James spent most of the time holding a cold piece of buttered toast begging someone to take him home.

I like that there’s a local sledding hill. I like that we can wake up and meet our friends there, Sophie’s friends there. I like how, when it snowed again earlier this week, Owen, while looking out the window said, “It makes me happy, Mommy.”
Snow makes me happy too, little man.
“The first fall of snow is not only an event, it is a magical event. You go to bed in one kind of world and wake up in another quite different, and if this is not enchantment then where is it to be found?” —J.B. Priestley
