This weekend we had a snow day. In the best way possible it sprinkled down wonder from the sky. Chris & I are total suckers for a good snow day. It started sort-of-snowing on Saturday & we hurried home from brunch, put on our jammies, made some hot cocoa & started a movie. Because, well, that's what you do when you have a snow day in Seattle; you lock yourself in the house because you can't drive in the snow here in your prius ;). We ended up jumping the gun a bit* because our sort-of-snow day on Saturday really just turned into just a gross rain day. However, when we woke up Sunday morning there was beautiful white snow on the ground. I'm not sure if you're anything like us, but when the snow comes we go into full kid mode; busting out the big boots, the sleds and you will most likely find us on the ground pounding together snowballs.
The older I get the more I find myself seeking out that sense of wonder & curiosity that children feel for everything they encounter. This weekend I felt that as Chris and I romped around in the snow together, laughing & playing... much like children do. It's always curious the way the world finds a way to bring you back towards what is important. Sunday I was reminded of how important it is to stare wonder in the face on a regular basis & how fun it is to forget about our ever growing list of responsibilites for a day and just enjoy life & being together.

How fun :) - we don't get too many snow days where I'm from ;-) (Florida).
We haven't had any snow here in Arkansas yet! I'm kinda jealous...your images just go to show that a good photographer is great no matter what the weather ;)
these are so much fun! awesome post!
Love this, Sarah! I hope you and Chris are constantly discovering new things to be excited and thankful for. Miss you two like crazy!
Was feeling a wee bit jealous when I saw this post yesterday but we finally got some flurries when we drove up in the hills this morning! Love the city shot!
The way you describe the feeling of wonder as a childs curiosity makes me feel like I've somehow misplaced my ability to do so! I haven't seen much snow since October over here in Massachusetts but it'll come, and I'll be out there making the biggest snowman I can! Enjoy the winter weather!
One day I WILL live somewhere where it snows and I WILL play in it like a child. I just love snow so much!
Jealous! The snow looks like so much fun.
I almost bought the same boots!
Great photos!
We had snow yesterday and today here in Portland. While I was able to go out and get a few shots, I'm hoping for much more snow though.
