Gretchen got to experience the snow for the first time on March 29th as we woke up to SNOW! Which continued to fall accumulating close to 4 inches! Its all gone today thank goodness. We are ready for spring and warmer weather! Gretchen liked it for about 5 minutes and then I think she realized how cold she was!

I am not sure what got into her, other than she is about funniest person in our household! Look closely at those eyebrows and make-up. She did this entirely on her own. She is always making us laugh!

Congratulations Shannon and Dave
