Hold: (trans. verb)/ to prevent from some action.

Days like today make me want to hold back time. Snow days are still exciting for me, even though I'm 'grown up.'

Nora soon decided that it was a privilege to play out in the snow with her brother. Joel was disappointed that he couldn't be out, since he's still recuperating. He did enjoy a chocolate malt milkshake, though. (Again!)

Connor, (who lost his first tooth last night!) was watching the snow fall before he ventured out:

(For those of us who are parents, we realize that photos of 'just the two of us' are almost non-existent...This snapshot below is the most recent of Paul and I-- taken in September of last year!) I should know better.



I'm looking forward to an enjoyable photo shoot coming up, as well as an opportunity for someone to win a Free Full Photo Session at a Creative Memories Workshop, held by Colleen Luginbuhl. 'Hope to see you there!
