God always sends sunshine after the storm.....

Almost 2 and 1/2 feet of snow fell over the last 24 hours.

What a beautiful, winter wonderland!!

God is Good!!

And then another blessing was sent our way----

the sun began to shine and the temperature reach 40 degrees.

A perfect afternoon for kids to head outside and blow the germs off their little bodies!!

The perfect day for snowmen and snowcaves.

"You can make it through, Mark!!! Keep digging."

Luke waged a snowy war. His most popular past-time lately.

Pretty, sun kissed Gracie.

We really need to get some sleds!!

We do live in the north afterall!

Rolling down the hill just isn't the same as sledding.

Mark is beginning to look soooo old to me! Ten years old--it is hard to believe.

Glorious sunshine on pure-white snow!!

"Help warm up Kimmy's cheeks, Laura!"

Happy Snowday every one!

A Snowy Saturday-Operation Playtime-Get Outside

And now, for your viewing pleasure, a montage of images from our afternoon-a real, real lot of images.

If you are from a warm climate you are sure to enjoy the pleasure on the children's faces.

If you are from the cold, white north, you can look at these pictures and commiserate with me. I have given up hope that the snow will ever go away, or that the temperature will ever go above 20 degrees. So today, with the temperature at 19 degrees, I said, "Go outside and look like you are having fun. I will come and take your pictures."

So, here you go, way too many SNOW pictures.

THE END

SURPRISE!!

We are having another snowstorm....we have had 8 inches by 9am.....

that means we have about 19 inches of snow on the ground right now.....

There no business like SNOW business!
