I thought we moved to Hillsboro, Oregon, elevation ~ 500 ft.?






Believe it or not (I took pictures so you can believe it) it snowed last night in Hillsboro Oregon. Yes, our elevation is about 500 ft. above sea level. Yes, it is not supposed to snow here. Apparently the weather isn't listening. It was wonderful to wake this morning to see snow. It was a big deal. Anywhere else, they would call it a dusting and go about life. I haven't watched any news, but I'm sure it's the "top story". Myself, I ran outside to get pictures.


Currently, a good portion of it has melted off, but little flurries are falling.




Just in case you were wondering, "How do their homeowners association clean snow off the sidewalk in a place where they don't usually get snow?"


The answer, they use leaf blowers and blow it away. Which leaves the crunched down footprints that will not blow away. At least it kind of looks cool....

I noticed that our dear little girl's clothes were getting tight. As in too small. I had guessed we wouldn't get through all the lovely 0-3 month clothes we had. Most were hand me downs, which made me glad because we didn't even look at a lot of them. Especially since she isn't even two months old yet. So, I went through her drawers and pulled out tons of clothes, rearranged and washed the new 3-6 month clothes I had. The only thing I wondered: Did she weigh enough to fit into those clothes? Or was it just the long torso that was throwing us off. I went to a breastfeeding group yesterday and had the opportunity to weigh her. Fully dressed (so subtract a couple ounces for clothing weight) she weighed... 12 pounds !!! Good grief! In the five weeks since her last doc. appointment she has gained over three pounds. One thing is for sure, I've going to develop buff arms before I know it!

I was catching up on a couple of blogs I like to read when I suddenly felt convicted about the lack of posts on my own blog. Now, granted, most of the time I have more important things to do. Like shower, which doesn't happen often enough. Like chase a munchkin, or a cat, or loads of laundry, dishes and unfinished craft projects. Truth is, I often have ideas of things to blog about. Like the weather. The massive amounts of rain, wind and crazy flooding. Then I convince myself that it's "boring" and don't. Besides I could be eating fudge instead. And really, everyone should be eating fudge instead. Which is another idea... share my 2 minute fudge recipe with the world. I mean, the five people who sometimes read this blog when there are new posts and they remember to check it. But even then, if they made it, that would mean that the world would have five people that are that much happier.
