Even more snow!






Sunday, Dec. 16





We got about 8 more inches of snow last night! Tim made it to his bus for New York, and the drive to NY was only 6.5 hours!! At least it was a limoliner - Tim says he was very comfortable! The kids and I ventured out to build a snowman and play in the snow. All three kids love the snow. Rachel, Jamie, and I threw snowballs at each other.
Jamie jumped into a snowbank that was up to his waist! David waded in and lost a snow boot once, but it didn't deter his enjoyment of the snowy day.















Yesterday we all got our first experience with sledding. We walked down the street to the resovior and the fun took off from there. David really had a good time sledding! He's very brave about riding down even big hills on our little plastic sled. He gets to go sledding at preschool, and the teachers all say that he can't get enough of it. David thanks God for playing in the snow each night during our bedtime prayers.










We're also aclimating to the cooler temperatures up here. Yesterday the high was in the 20s, and it was cold. Today the highs were in the mid 30s and it almost felt warm. We're going to feel like we've gone to the tropics when we're home for Christmas!

We had snow today too - if you squinted real hard, you saw a few flakes....maybe! ;-) Glad the kids are enjoying the snow - when will you be home for Christmas?

Ah, sledding....those were the days:'( The snow suits and boots they have available really make a difference though in playing out in the weather...much more tolerable don't you think? It's so wonderful that you're getting to experience all that beauty. I imagine you're home now for Christmas but I'm going to wish you a Very, Merry Christmas anyway!
