Day 2 of snow fall resulted in a few more inches.  This was the deck yesterday.  This is the deck today.  The sun came out and Cullen ventured into the back yard.  This is our future Olympic Snowboarder.  I guess a few lessons would help and maybe a snowboard too?  This child always has to taste snow.  "Just keep clear of the yellow snow" I tell him!  Warren and Zulu spent an hour shoveling the ...
