I realized that I've been neglecting Gertie on this blog! Here she is lounging on the couch a couple of days ago.

Yesterday, I was shopping at Target with Max. I made the mistake of dangling this little bird toy in front of him in my shopping cart. His face lit up and he started reaching for it. Of course I had to buy it for him! I kind of sighed and thought, "this is probably the first time of many." Once we got to the car, I strapped it to his car seat and as you can see, he was mesmerized.


Look what we woke up to this morning. It's only a tiny dusting and will probably be gone by the afternoon...but it's still always a surprise to see white on the ground for the first time each year.
