Snow Day
Grandy came in to visit on Wednesday afternoon and planned on keeping Emily home on Thursday and Friday. We got an unexpected surprise when school got canceled for me on Friday and Greg ended up abandoning his mission of getting to work when the roads were pretty slick in our town, and our town usually has the best roads of his commute. Unfortunately, Poppy was supposed to fly in on Friday, but between our weather and the ice storm that St. Louis had, his flight was canceled so he didn't make it until Saturday.
We had a lot of fun when we went out in the snow and it was especially nice for Grandy to be visiting so Greg and I could take care of the shoveling without taking turns inside with Emily. Emily had a lot of fun sitting on the couch with Grandy and waving at us out the window.
Emily was a bit unsure of the snow initially, but ended up loving it. We took Emily down the front yard on a sled which she loved. On Sunday, Greg decided to take Emily out on the deck to play with the snow on there. She was so excited to put her boots on and played with the snow with her bare hands (she kept taking her mittens off). She kept poking and touching the snow and dropping it through the slats of the deck. When it was time to come inside, she got so upset.
The next day, Monday, Grandy and Poppy stayed home with Emily. They took her out on the deck again and thought about bringing her bucket and shovel out with her. She loved that. She kept calling them "my bucket and shobel." Emily will be sorry to see the snow melt over the next few days.

Emily, what fun we had with you in the snow! You were so cute sledding with Mommy & Daddy and then on the deck you loved using your bucket and "shobel". We had a good time playing with you indoors as well.
It is so exciting watching your vocabulary grow, your interests in your toys expand, your ability to do many more things and your memory is sharp as a tack. Your giggles are infectious too...actually we love all that you do. We did not want to say goodbye till the next time we see you.
We love you,
Grandy & Poppy

Hello Emily,
We are happy to hear you had a wonderful time with Grandy and Poppy. We can't wait until we can visit and play with you. It will be when the weather is warmer.
You look so cute in your red snow suit. It looks like it keeps you warm while playing in the snow. Was it fun to go sledding and to make snow angels?
We were happy we could use the speaker phone to share in your birthday party. You certainly received a lot of neat gifts.
We love you,
Grandma and Grandpa

Hi Emily!
You look a little like your friend Elmo in that jacket. Elmo always looks good in red. It looks like it's a good color for you too. Have you met Elmo's cute, furry, lovable pal Grover? He's nice too. He's blue and perhaps a bit more mellow than Elmo, but still a very good pal to have around. Speaking of blue pals ... watch out for Cookie Monster ... he might have his googly eyes on your cookie jar!
Love,
Christi
