1st Snow Day of the Year

Today was our first snow day here in Cincinnati! Olivia and Emma went out twice to play in the snow. Grace stayed in the first time to work on homework (she is growing up). It was also a very sad day today for Grace (really all the girls). Her rabbit, Ginger, died. Olivia and Emma played out front for most of the afternoon, but walked around back to play, and on their way, they lifted up the blanket to say "Hi" to "Gingy". Well.....Emma came running up to the door mouthing, "Ginger is DEAD!" When I went out to check, sure enough. Poor thing--both Ginger and Grace. We had a little ceremony in the back yard after Dan dug a hole back in the woods. Emma was stressed because Dan put her in a garbage bag before he put her in the ground. Later when I was collecting garbage around the house, the trash bag was at the bottom of the stairs. She stopped dead in her tracks and said very gingerly, "Is Ginger in there?" --Oh, Emma!











"Don't worry Dad, I'll get the driveway for ya'"

Grace and Olivia helping Dan with Ginger. I guess they were too upset to really help? Poor Daddy had to do it all by himself in a snowstorm!

I am so very jealous that you had a snow day! We haven't even had one yet! Can you believe it? We are glad you girls had so much fun in the snow, but we are so so sad to hear about Ginger. We are sorry to hear about the news Grace. I know how hard it is to have to say goodbye to a family pet. Hang in there kiddo!
