We received about 28″ of snow from last weekend’s storm and have been playing in it since! We had a nice 1/2 mile loop around the perimeter of our yard/ranger station/horse pasture/cemetery.

This is Abe’s biggest storm since the day he was born. He’s been both cross-country skiing and sledding so far, but mostly we just think the white is a nice backdrop to take his picture.

Abe is constantly exploring everything. He has the crawling thing down, and we’re waiting for what is next.

Here is a little song to hum throughout the holiday season, a little verse written for Abraham (to the tune of O Tannenbaum).

O Abraham O Abraham,
Much pleasure you do bring us!
For every day that you are here,
Our love is always near.
O Abraham O Abraham,
Much pleasure you do bring us!

O Abraham O Abraham,
We love to watch you grow up.
You crawl around and chase the cats,
You pull and pull when you wear hats.
O Abraham O Abraham,
We love to watch to you grow up.

O Abraham O Abraham,
We are so very lucky.
You make us laugh you make us cry,
We love you more each day goes by.
O Abraham O Abraham,
We are so very lucky.

Merry Christmas!
