I took this photo several years ago before school one morning

it had snowed in the night so I told the kids to get out & enjoy it while it lasted

It was our only day of snow that year

my daughter must have been about eight or nine then

Sam looks young & healthy too

I love this photo and had it blown up to poster size for her bedroom

that year I printed out black & white copies for family Christmas cards

they were magical and ethereal

a snapshot of frozen time
