hats

who said people don't wear enough hats? granted, it's the same hat (Lewis's cowboy hat), but they all seem to make it their own. Iain has even tried to say 'hat', just to see if Lewis would give it to him. how could he say no?

all three of the children enjoyed the snow this evening--yes, snow! for a little while, it was really coming down. it settled on the patio furniture and accumulated there and on the grass. Iain stood with Lewis at the big picture-window and slapped the glass enthusiatically; all through dinner, he kept looking over his shoulder to see if it was still coming down. Thomas surmised early on that there wouldn't be enough snow to make a snowman. oh, well. the rain will wash it all away by morning.

Anna is scheduled, finally, for her eye surgery: this Friday noon. it is not supposed to be a big ordeal, but she will not experience it as such. we just hope it all goes smoothly and she recovers as quickly as the doctor says she should.
