Just hanging around, eating our gigantic gummy worm.

When Life Gives You Snow

Make a snow hill of your own for sledding.
 

Then double up the fun.

Flashback Friday

February 2015
Tank tops and T shirts around the fire in Alabama.
 
Wetumpka was hit by a freak January tornado last Saturday, and they are all in our prayers.  The church across the street from ours was destroyed during the event, and we know the people of that town will pull together and get through it.
 
Ben's opinion: Maybe God just wanted more of those people to go to our church.
 
Not quite the same sort of situation during a Chicago February in early 2019.
Rumor has it, we're headed back to a less snowy climate in 2019, and we're pretty excited.

Mom! You need to update the blog!

Said by my girls to me the other day.
 
Okay, but most days, all I see are people taking food and fleeing it seems.

Spongebob

The entire cast of the cartoon in balloon characters

Because sometimes, you are just stuck inside.
 

And imagination must fuel your day.

Not Groundhog Day Yet

But it has felt like it.
After treating three with a bad cold, it got me.
And so I earned a few days on the couch with some favorite movies.
 

Not one power outage, but three successive ones over our recent cold snap.
Wherein we figured out that we could use our hotspot to make internet and stream a movie.
And a fire would keep us warm.
 

And our November snow, which was pretty absent during December returned.  On the first of four days that I woke up not feeling worse than when I went to bed, I finally got out of the house in this.

New Years 2008
We can't have nice things.
After too many naptime shenanigans, we re-did the boys' room...
