Snow

Happy, snowy winter from our family to yours! My husband got to experience snow for the first time ever this year. (Welcome to the US babe!) Needless to say, there is no snow in Uganda, Africa. (I am told at the very tip of the Rwenzori there may be some, but I think they are just bluffing.)

I think the novelty has worn off already as we haven't got a snow big enough to close my workplace or thick enough for some tobogganing fun. Not even really snowball weather!

Little D has been super stoked about getting his hands (and feet) in it so I went and bought him his very first sled and snow boots!

I have so many fond memories of sledding down the big hills in our town and neighborhood when I was growing up. Even constructing an igloo or two (one of them was post college in all honesty... we were the envy of the entire apartment complex! but I was technically still growing up then, right?)

My husband asked me the other day, "If you could choose one thing from Uganda and bring it here, what would it be?"

I was stumped for a long time. I finally told him that I didn't want only ONE thing from Uganda. I would rather just go there myself than bring any of it here.

He told me he would say the same, but then relented and said he would bring the weather.
