Snow.

  I used to really, really dislike winter. Hate is probably too strong of a word, but I definitely disliked it. Something about that changed a few years ago after our miscarriage. I think I started seeing seasons differently and appreciating them more. So, winter is growing on me. When we got our first snow this week, I wasn't sad at all. It seems like perfect timing, with Thanksgiving a week away and the holiday season about to begin. 
  I will for sure miss our evening walks and not having to layer up every time we leave the house. But I love fires in the fireplace and cozy sweaters and kind of hibernating inside. And, of course, having Caleb around makes it all a little more fun. I mean, come on. Do you see that sweet snuggly snow baby up there? Gah. I can hardly stand all the cuteness.
  So, bring it on winter. I'm ready for you.
