snow at the beach

Lucy in the Snow

/ Katie / 18 Comments

I think it’s safe to say – and also absolutely delightful – that Lucy has inherited my love of winter and snow.

We didn’t get quite the snowfall that we anticipated, which is honestly sort of a relief, but we got enough that Lucy could go out and play. And she loved it.

She did NOT want to come in. But sometimes we have to do things we don’t want to do so that we don’t freeze our tiny, adorable fingers off, am I right?

It’s still cold here, but the snow’s all melted and I don’t expect we’ll see more this season, so I’m happy Lucy got to experience it this year. Now, as far as I’m concerned, onward to spring and brighter days ahead!

Surprise! (It’s a Snowstorm!)

I’m admittedly a little late to the party, posting about this. It’s been over a week ago now. But I couldn’t just not write about it, given how much I love snow. (If you’ve been here for a while, you know I love snow. If you haven’t, you should know: I love snow. And winter is my favorite.)

Anyway…

I just can’t believe it, y’all. I thought I’d never see a snow like this again. But the universe just loves proving me wrong, and so here we are. Virginia Beach got a foot of snow.

I mean, in this case, it’s like the universe proved me wrong to make me happy, and I just can’t complain about that.

There’s like no snow infrastructure around here, so we were snowed in until the weather warmed up enough to melt stuff.

And I’m not complaining! Many cups of tea. Lots of snuggles with the baby. Good naps.

Lucy loved watching the snow fall.

And was entertained trying to catch it in her hand and feeling little flakes on her head.

She was…decidedly less certain once we got her outside to actually play in it.

Maybe next year, kid. 😊

Although, who knows? This was a pretty historic snowstorm for Virginia Beach, and I doubt we’ll see anything like it again for a long time. But a few inches next winter? That’s possible!

For now, I’ll just be grateful for the abundance we got.
