It has been a wonderful winter up north, we are enjoying the cool weather more than we thought that we would. The first day we had snow the kids were outside with snow suits on by 8a.m. It was a good thing because snow does not stay long here. You will wake to beautiful white snow and light snow drifts in the morning and by evening it is all melted.
I love opening all of my curtains and watching the snow fall, Jeremiah describes it best by saying it is beautiful and quiet. The flakes can be so big and wonderful! On snowy days like this, the kids and I like to sit around the fireplace with their school work and fill our minds with knowledge and our bodies with warmth.
Some of my favorite snow moments are when the kids put on their water shoes (better for snow, so they say) and jump on the trampoline together. It cracks me up to watch them slip and slide! I also love watching Matthew (I can't say play anymore) hang out with his friends in the backyard on snowy days. Teenage boys are seriously a crack up, once again the trampoline is a hit. Most of all I love the blanket of white that covers everything, it radiates clean and new.
This is the kids on one of the snowy mornings that they just couldn't wait to get outside.
Forgive their sorry excuse for a snowman, they are beginners.
This is my sister and I Christmas shopping downtown at the Courthouse Square. I picked myself up the cutest scarf!
This is one of the beautiful snowy Sundays that we have experienced.
They can't help it, they have to play in it!
Can you see the snow in my hair?
This picture was taken right outside of our church building after an evening meeting, so beautiful.
