SNOW DAY!

These pictures were actually taken by our neighbor Jessica, who is a 15 year photographer for the local paper! Aren't they wonderful! She has won national awards and takes amazing action shots! If you need a photographer for your child's sports she is the one to call! Thanks Jessi! http://www.picsbyjessica.com


It came...the real snow...All four-and-a-half inches of it fell in HUGE beautiful snowflakes!! We haven't experienced snow like this at our home (13years!). It was so much fun for Mike and the children! Okay, I did get a few slides in with Baby Michael! IT WAS AMAZING! Mike says "There are no boundaries in the snow"...he is still searching the neighbors yards for "untouched snow"!! The children had fun being pulled by a four-wheeler down the street! Mike enjoyed getting out his "Flexible Flyer"! He said for a moment he was "13" again...sledding down the street!
I only thought I was a true colonial girl at heart until the power stayed out all night! It was fun playing games by lantern light and huddling close by the fire all night, but all night was looonnng with baby in arms! We broke out the Coleman stove for coffee and pancakes in the morning and were getting use to this new way of life, when the power came on just in time for lunch! YEA! We often take for granted everyday luxuries such as warm water and heat! We are so thankful for a warm home and bed and ALL the extravagant amenities we all have here in the United States!! And Thank you Lord for the most memorable snow!! How could you look at it and not give HIM THE GLORY!!
