It’s Snowing!

Not really. In the past few days, there’s been a mixture of weather patterns that we’ve experienced. On one day it was cold (like SF-weather).

And just yesterday we had a major sandstorm that covered the entire sky making the color of the afternoon sky dull orange (see pics here).  It made quite an interesting walk with our family with the wind and sand flying everywhere. We even had to use our “rain guard” for our stroller to protect Haddon from the elements.
