Snowy winter

Time to catch up on some McNeel family happenings from the last several months that we have not yet blogged about...

I'll start with some out-of-season snow pictures.

Like many parts of the country we had more snow than usual this past winter. Now, "lots" of snow for Richmond is still a laughably small amount compared to points north and west, I know, but it was a lot for us. Well, at least it was more frequent than usual. We disappointingly never had a very deep snow.

Here are some pictures of the boys enjoying the snow. These were taken following several different snow storms in January and February.

But maybe not quite fast enough for their dad:

Justin had some steering issues...

 ...but he was a good big brother pulling Sam back up the hill:

 However, this is mostly what Justin does when he is outside in the snow:

 

 The boys with a snowman we built on another day:

Justin just can't resist that snow, even when it is someone else's nose:
