Sundays In My City #53 - Is That Snow? & GIVEAWAY


Today's Sunday In My City is actually from last Sunday in my hometown in Ohio where I was visiting family and getting a "baby fix".

I arrived to 50 degree weather but woke up Sunday to this....


I yiyi, you have no idea how much I dislike snow, but it seems every time I'm anywhere near Ohio after October or before May-- Temps will drop and snow will fly. Fortunately it only lasted a little while.

I tried to sneak back into town before the nasty weather so I could get my hands on this sweet girl, my great niece, one more time....


The Little Miss is 5 1/2 months old and up to a whopping 12 pounds. The last time I saw her in person she was about 5 weeks and barely 6 pounds so it was quite a change.


She warmed my heart and I couldn't take my eyes off of her. What a treat to be able to spend time with her, her mom and my entire family. It was perfection.

How's your Sunday?

  1. I share your sentiments about snow. It should only snow once a year, the week between Christmas and New Year and sprig should arrive on the 2nd of January.;)
    Your niece is very, very cute; your pictures makes me miss my nieces as well...
    Have a lovely Sunday,
    xoxo

  2. Awww, look at the toesies! She's so adorable. I can't believe how fast time is flying! So glad you got to have your baby fix. Strange to see the fall colors mixed in with snow.

  3. She is too cute, Joanna! I keep encouraging my middle son ( the one who got married in May ) to provide me with a grandchild - I want a girl since I've got three boys but I wouldn't mind a boy, either. He tells me they are doing nothing to keep from having one so I guess I must be patient. I hope this is chance number 2 in your contest for me!

  6. She's really growing! What a cutie.
    I'm not a fan of the snow either. So far we've only had some flurries, but this week that may change. :(

  10. What a darling she is. Has it been 5 1/2 months already? My, how time flies when we are having blogging fun.
    Yesterday James and I had one of the best days ever. We looked at each other and then looked around and James said "We moved all this by ourselves and we are over the move and settled here." We put up our electronic dart board yesterday and played darts. Now we are home.

  11. She is adorable!! Makes me want to bite those little chunky legs. :) Reminds me so much of my youngest.

  12. the good part is you get to go back to where it's warm! Such a cute little great niece.

  13. She's so cute!! Just pinchalicous!! I read snow and I thougt wait a minute do I really need to look outside and check? lol! Hope you are enjoying your trip. The nights here have been cold.

    ReplyDelete
  14. She is definitely a cutie patootie! I'm sure it was worth a little snow to get to see her and hold her!

    ReplyDelete
  15. She's a beauty! Glad you were able to get your hands on her!

  16. I got to see my great niece last Sunday with the baby blanket I made for her. She is now, lessee, 4+ months and the blanket still suits her just fine. She's also a cutie with two doting older brothers.

    I'm no longer fond of the snow. My balance sucks, even with a walker. And we are predicted to get lots this Winter. Can hardly wait.

  17. She is certainly worth getting through a little snow to hold and cuddle. I love how she is looking at her cute littly baby feet in the last pic.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Now that is one adorable little girl. She exudes sweetness. Glad you got this time with her and your family and of course the snow so you can really appreciate not having to live in it. Thankfully I don't mind the snow...which I suppose is good since I live in the land of snow. :) Happy Sunday!

  19. Awww, she is so adorable, no wonder you wanted to get your hands on her again. What a sweetie!!

  20. My family lives in Michigan and I can hardly take the cold, but the little ones are reason to visit :) Little Miss is completely adorable!

  22. Now that's the kind of baby I like! She is adorable and chubby!

  23. My Sunday is okay, but the closest I am getting to holding a baby is the doggie. It's a good thing he's little and likes to cuddle.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Oh my goodness she is so ADORABLE..look at those cheeks and those beautiful eyes :)

    Love the snow..can't help it, I love love LOVE the snow..lol I wish we'd hurry up and get some over here :)

  25. I don't think there is anything cuter than baby toes and baby butts! Glad you had time to enjoy!

  26. Cute! The snow looks wonderful; the weather pundits are saying we will get some snow this winter, thanks to la nina. We'll see! I'm just getting started on Sunday, it's raining and foggy here in Seattle!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Oh Joanna, she's too precious!
    I'm listening to Classical Christmas (don't judge me) so when I saw your snow picture I felt all happy inside. The only thing that I dislike about the cold is the bills. Besides that, I'm cool with it (pun, haha).
    Babyzilla spent the night with me last night, and I woke up to a "shhhh" sound. When I opened my eyes, she was sitting on the bed next to me with a finger raised to her lips going "shhhh". I adore her.

  28. Seriously cute your lil Ohio Baby!! OMg those cheeks so kissable! Love the snow....I keep waiting for it here! I know once it comes I will be complaining! Have a great week!

  39. What a cutie! Sounds like you had a lot of fun during your visit.

    I wouldn't say I'm a total fan of snow, but I can't get along without it. When I lived in California, it was weird not to have snow for Christmas.

  42. Chubby baby feet are the best! What a cutie.
    I'm with you on snow...hate the blasted stuff. I like a white Christmas, but I'd be fine if it snowed like the dickens on Christmas eve and was all gone by New Years!

  45. Darn, winter is truly tapping at my door too, when it snows I have to fight to get our car up the steep drive! Isn't that little princess gorgeous? What a beautiful smile! I'll bet your family were so happy to see you again!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Snow? Boo snow. Not looking forward to that. But, what a cutie! Worth an unexpected snow day.

    ReplyDelete
  47. That little adorable face will melt a whole much of snow. She is a cutie! xo

    ReplyDelete
  48. But of COURSE it snowed! To remind you why you live in California now... I hate when it snows on trees that still have leaves; that's NOT how it's supposed to work.

    Glad to know you had plenty to keep you warm inside, though!

    ReplyDelete
  49. Snow?! Why, who doesn't like snow?!

    :-) ha ha I'm in Minnesota, so I'm pretty much required to pretend like I haven't even noticed the 8 inches we got Saturday...

    As for the great niece, I just want to squeeze her. Those plump little legs and un-used feet! She's absolutely adorable.
