snow day!!

So, it's April 3rd and I know everyone back in San Diego is reveling  in the sunny and perfect 80-degree weather; and I was too...48 hours ago. Then all of a sudden BAM!! and everything is blanketed in white. Here's what it looks like in the backyard. You can tell garden prep has been underway and has been put on standby until further notice.

 
This is what it looks like around town this morning (FB friends, if some of these photos look familiar, thank you!)

Hello February!

Per a severe weather alert, with bitterly cold temperatures (tomorrow's high is 14 and the low is -1 degrees!!) and snow showers throughout much of the day...the University of New Mexico declared a snow day and closed the campus. After sending in Andrew's graduate school application (WOOHOO!!), we took to the park for some fun in the snow!! Then we were off to happy hour at our favorite local spot, Savoy Bar and Grill, and took a few cool pictures around town while we were out.

Andrew sends in his application!

The Heights got some snow!

When I don't miss, this is how I entertain Leila

I'm getting better at my snow angels

Yay, snow day!

Peek-a-boo!!

That would be Andrew's celebratory cigar

Our neighborhood hangout, Quigley Park

Andrew doesn't look awkward with a bat at all

Leila LOVES the snow

Santa Fe Snow Day

While the house is still a wreck as we are in the midst of unpacking Andrew's belongings, unwrapping and putting away wedding gifts, we have somehow managed to get out of the house and enjoy all the glory that is New Mexico. First stop: Santa Fe Ski Area. We took Leila and Rocco to the snow and boy did they have a blast. Afterwards we stopped in town and got a bite to eat at the local Del Charro where you can get a mackin' soup and sandwich for only $4.

My first snow angel. Note to self: wear snowpants next time.

Our babies, Rocco and Leila
