There are moments in life that you hope you are still enough to notice.
Moments that can pass you by in the blink of an eye, moments that if you are too busy looking towards tomorrow… you’ll miss.
This is one of those moments.
We were so busy cleaning out our garage, readying for our garage sale… not really paying attention to the rare occasion that was happening around us.
Sleet.
Frozen rain.
South Texas.
Frozen Rain in South Texas.
We dismissed it completely as a mild annoyance until Monkey stood on our doorstep in full regalia and said: “Daddy, pick me up and hold me up so that I can see the ice”
We stopped dead in our tracks and realized.
He is 3 years old and he’s never seen ice fall from the sky before.
I ran for the camera and my husband.. he gathered Monkey into his arms and into the ice they danced.
My two men.
Cute! I guess it’s something if you haven’t seen it before.

Yep
It’s pretty amazing. I think this is the coldest it’s gotten in the 3 years that he’s been alive!
but down here, it’s a big deal!
I know a little sleet is nothing for some folks
Thanks for the reminder that sometimes we need to slow down and dance in the snow.
Such a sweet photo!

Happy Friday, sweetie.
rare, I lived in Texas from 1997-2000, almost no snow, only recall a hail-storm.
you seem enjoying the weather, that’s make your day!

The weather was great! I’ve lived in Texas for nearly my whole life and I’ve only seen snow twice!!!
Ice from the sky is pretty awesome. Glad Monkey got to enjoy it!

He LOVED it! OF course, he only lasted about 4 minutes before he went and cuddled next to the fire…
awww I”m so glad you were able to capture that moment. Sometimes you just have to stop and notice what is going on around…too cute!!!

Thanks, Jen!
Yes, I try to keep my camera around as much as possible… it’s amazing how much more I notice when I have it near me!
What a keepsake! We got the sleet here too, but it seems like all around us got snow! Pasadena, Pearland, all over!

I sort of wish that we’d gotten the snow.. but, at the same time… South Texans. Snow.. maybe not
