We now reside in a land of weather. Every day, the kids talk about the existence of variations in temperature and precipitation. I try to explain that they lived in the magical land of Southern California where the weather is always nice. It was a unique situation. They just don't understand. In a few months, they will finally be able to experience the joy that is the first day of spring where you can exit your front door without a coat on. New experiences! Broadening horizons! Appreciating things you used to take for granted!
The kids' new school does not require uniforms. This means that the kids have to own actual outfits that they can wear. I don't get to be lazy and order from a set menu of items. When we arrived, we started out with a small selection of polo shirts. We made the boys wear polos and fleeces to the first day of school on January 4th.

Also in our clothing collection are a ton of t-shirts. Now that they have settled in, that's basically what they wear. Occasionally we have them switch back to the polo shirts for church. I have also expanded their wardrobe to include some long-sleeved turtleneck shirts, but they are not fans... yet. I'm trying to convince them that if it is nice out, they don't have to wear a coat if they wear a long-sleeved shirt.
Back to Alex. Typically you might see him in this type of outfit in Southern California. Well, without the coat.

So where did all of the shorts go? Well, now that we have seasons, we also have storage of summer clothes.
