Finally... Snow!

Our kids were beginning to think we’d go another winter without a real snow. But God is good! Actually, we were on the northern end of what was a really bad storm. The folks just south of us got 1-2 inches of ice and have the power outage conditions we had a couple years ago. So we’re certainly not thrilled on their behalf. But here, we received only about 2 tenths of an inch of ice, followed by a couple inches of sleet, but then topped it off with at least 3 inches of snow. The end result, the kids are thrilled. Makes for treacherous travel, but sure is fun to play in! We managed to keep power/heat on the whole time, praise God! Hope everyone else out there is safe and warm.

Catching Up (at least trying to)

Well, good grief. Here it is nearly a week into the new year and we haven't updated this site at all. Shame on us. Let's see where to begin...

We could talk about the flu bug that destroyed Thanksgiving.... No....

We could talk about what a blessed Christmas we had... That's good and we're grateful, but that's all come and gone...

We could talk about the deer that decided to jump out and beat up our van... But, alas, the silly 'ol camera somehow zapped the pictures!

Well, how about this. Our oldest is at it again. She's just had another poem published by Mindflights. You can read it here.

And with that, we'll say (very late) Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and we'll try to be better about updating more often!
