Ed bought skates a couple of weeks ago and today was the first chance he got to try them out. He thinks he was eight years old the last time he was on skates so it`s been a few years.

Ed did great. He shuffled around the rink for a half hour with only two falls. There was no hanging on the boards for him. I don`t think it`ll be long before he`s skating better than me.

It`s snowed every day since Saturday, so the piles are getting deeper.

Ed digs paths so Zaph can get to the lawn without climbing a snowbank.

It took awhile but Zaph finally walked out into the snow. If it keeps snowing at this rate it won`t be long before Zaph`s belly is dragging in the snow.
