Last night we got about 15-20" of fluffy snow ("no" as pronunced by B.) dumped on us and Beatrice finally spent some real time in it today while we shoveled out. When I stuck her straight into it, it was about up to her chest. She walked around the cleared paths, sat in the snow, and "mowed" the snow in the garage with her pink plastic lawn mower. She was happier than during her first glimpse of the frozen white stuff a couple of weeks ago, but certainly wasn't upset when we said it was time to come in. Here are some photos from the day and several video clips that I finally downloaded off of my little camera, some from October and November, and one from just the other day when my incredibly talented friend Benedetta's handmade original Christmas coat arrived for Beatrice. It is an heirloom, a piece of art, and fits to a T! And it's too bad I didn't have the camera ready for the FIRST time we opened the box Ben, because I swear she gave a big "WOW!" and smile and was more than eager to put it right on but I'm so ridiculous, I made Anthony get the camera and I shut the box and started all over again, hence the "no, no" answer to "do you want to try it on?" I also love the one where she's doing her daily chore of putting her clothes in the laundry basket and she does so in the midst of our MESS. Do what we SAY, not what we DO!
This blog started as an online journal of our trip to Hanoi, Vietnam to pick up our daughter Beatrice (Hanh Minh), and now chronicles our journey through life together as a family of three....
