We arrived back in Bloomington from Christmas vacation to 10 inches of snow and 10 days until our condo closing. It was a whirlwind week-and-a-half of packing and good-byes and "one last time to..." And for Gemma, it was her first real experience of snow! She had SO much fun playing in the piles of snow around the parking lot and property.
An evening ritual post-bathtime: Mommy combs/brushes Gemma's hair while Gemma chooses one of my necklaces to wear.

One night we four went out to pizza at Mother Bear's, our favorite B-town pizza establishment. (We had a gift card from Timo's birth and needed to use it before we moved!)
On our last Sunday we had time for one more hang-out with good friends Kevin and Laura Katerberg, and Emma and Kate. We met them the semester after we arrived in Bloomington, when both Jul and Laura were pregnant (with Gemma & Emma; try playing with these girls and not confusing their names!). On this Sunday afternoon, the dads had fun taking the daughters out to romp around in the snow, while us moms stayed inside and chatted about babies (of course) and what the uncertain future may bring to our families. I'm so thankful for these encouraging and supportive friends over the last three years!

Oh my - necklaces and hair-dos! Gemma, will you do this with your Cousin Adella?! Wonderful snow pictures!
Do we know where you're going or is it a secret???
