Let it Snow

The first week of February brought us 3 inches of new snow. Then we got another inch over the weekend. But it didn't come with wind or nasty cold this time. It was the pretty, big flakes that came straight down. Like what you see on the movies!
The nasty cold waited until this Monday (the 8th), blowing some of the snow around.

The boys had a band concert Sunday. It was a short program, but as always, enjoyable. Between that, pep band, and other activities/work they are involved in, sometimes I don't see them much. I see them off in the mornings, and sometimes they swing by work to visit before they are off to something else. Some weeks are crazy, other weeks (thankfully) have a slower pace.

Patrick had a black powder meeting Sunday, I was amazed at the turnout--the Superbowl was on, too. Stiff competition for time! He has been scouting new targets for them, life-size and in color. They're pricier, but members liked them so his work paid off.
Jared will only get to go to two shoots this year (and cleanup day in March) until he is off to Ft. Benning for training. Kyle isn't as interested in the black powder, and not sure if he'll compete. I know his Grandpa Russell would like him to participate.

My mom called the other day from deep south Texas (they are "winter Texans"). She said they had gotten more rain and it was chilly some days. I laughed at that comment. Warm here right now is their "chilly". I'd be elated to see 40 degrees on end in the winter! ;)
