From snow to sunshine in just 3 hours!

We enjoyed a great weekend in Olympia with family and friends. You can imagine our surprise to wake up to snow on Saturday morning. We took Cole outside to experience not only his first snow but also the latest snow on record in Washington history. Notice the look on Cole's face looking up at the snow trying to figure out what it is. He is such a desert baby, spoiled by the sunshine! The entire Blubaum clan was happy to land back home in Phoenix and a high of 85 degrees. Cole had a chance to see his Grandpa and Nana Fromhold while we were in town. During dinner we decided to put Cole in the highchair so he could sit with us. Unfortunately we were using all the chairs that could be used to strap the booster seat to, so Cole was straped to a step ladder. He loved every minute of it and assured me that he is ready for his highchair and cereal! We will start that with him when we return from Florida next weekend.

Also on the agenda during our visit was a surprise party for Grammy. She retired from the credit union (well, partially retired...still working 3 days a week) in January. Grandpa Al threw a fantastic party for her...she was definitely surprised! Cole was a trooper during the party and was adored by all. He finally drifted off to sleep around 8:30pm...
It was a great weekend but we are glad to be home for a few days. Next trip...Destin, Florida! We will leave next Thursday and spend 4 days in Florida to celebrate the wedding of our friends Courtney and Eric. Grammy arrives on Wednesday and will be taking care of Cole while we are away. She is one lucky Grammy...she is getting to spend so much time with Cole!

Have a great week!
