Snow...

Josh trying to shoot hoops in the snow.

Our first snow storm that we've had in years. We got 8" and the kids played in it all weekend. It started on Saturday and didn't stop snowing until Sunday morning. We had to cancel church, which I hate to miss church, but it sure was nice to be "snowed in" and slow down our pace of life. We had fun playing in the snow with our kids, sleigh ridding, sitting by the fire, and just having some quiet. When snow falls it reminds me of what a GREAT God we serve that creates such amazing beauty. It also reminds me how God has made us white as the snow (cleansed us from our sins) by His blood. Thank you Lord for your beauty that you've given us through your creation and through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Lauren got out for a few minutes with her brothers to play in the snow. And then she was done, but the boys were in it all day!!




Shaun got out to shovel our driveway while it was still snowing. Good idea but wrong time, it snowed more and covered our driveway again.

Caleb and Lauren.

Lauren loved playing on the playground in the snow. She wasn't up for sled ridding much. She went down once and she was done.

The boys had fun sled ridding down some pretty good size hills with their friends, Jesse and Logan. We didn't realize that a golf course in our area has some pretty good sledding hills.

The boys were sled ridding for two hours and went back again after a break for another two hours.
