[nagdu] Snow storm!

[Danielle Sykora]

Cutting nails before putting boots on is definitely something to
remember. Yeah, I figured that out after putting boots on *before* the
nail trimming and finding a tear.

Thai also enjoys playing in the snow. He loves digging in the snow,
which is odd since he never digs in any other substrate. Chasing
snowballs is always a good time, but he hasn't quite figured out why
they disappear as soon as they land. It should be especially fun this
year since he has the puppy to play with.

Danielle and Thai, who can't wait to show his little sister the joys of snow
