Life with my sister

Something about snow makes me want to belt out the song from White Christmas,"Snow, Snow, Snow..." in my best opera voice. Good thing there is no voice record option on here, huh?! Henry finally got to play in the snow for the first time. Last year he saw snow from the window, but he was too little to go out and play. We were so excited to show Henry what the white stuff was all about! He was slow to take off but when he did he was gone! He loved it. Randall and I loved watching his face and listening to him squeal. I took the cutest video but it was set on the wrong settings and is now too large to load on the computer. Go figure. I don't want him to grow up too fast, yet I look forward to being able to ride 4 wheelers and do a little sledding with him in the snow. He is so much fun and the cutest snow baby ever! Abby

It snowed today in South Arkansas!!! It began snowing right as Stephen was finishing his sermon. Well, I should probably rephrase that. Stephen finished preaching as soon as his snow signal man signaled him that it was snowing! We headed home and into warm clothes grabbed a bite to eat and headed to the country. I know some of you think I live in the country because I live in a small town, but I don't. Our friends do. We braved the snowy roads and headed the 10 miles out of town to go jeep riding, and being pulled on a sled by a 4 wheeler. We ate, threw snowballs, and had a great time! The kids had to change clothes 3 times. They would get so wet from the sledding and playing. I would put a change of clothes on them (well, they did it themselves) and put their wet clothes in the dryer and repeated that for each kid. I think we will remember this snowday for a long time. It was so much fun!!! Did it snow where you live? Julie

We woke up yesterday morning to snow,snow, snow! Henry saw snow when he was 3 weeks old but it was nothing like this. He did not know what to think about it. He was not fond of how bright it was. We heard kids playing in it down the street and it made us long for the day he will be out in it making snow angels and snowmen in the yard. This is what it looks like at our house. We are snowed in as you can see. I don't know about you but I am ready to hide Easter eggs and be done with this Winter mess. Urrggh! Abby

We hustled home this afternoon to have one last Mississippi style snowball fight! I am in awe at how much it has snowed and in disbelief that it is still coming down. Spring Break started this afternoon and it is just insane that it is snowing on spring break! Crazy and fun times!

Hey! Just wanted to check in and say YEA! It is snowing here!!! The forecast had been for the western and northern part of the state, so we thought we were slighted, but God saw fit to let it snow here! Thank you, God, for answering the prayers of my children and my prayers too. I don't have pictures, because I haven't played out in it yet, but am on my way outside! I wanted to tell you about my lunch today. Since it was snowy I thought I would fix something different, but I was the only one that ate it! And man was it good! A fried peanut butter and jelly sandwich. They have never sounded good to me before, but you grill it just like a grilled cheese sandwich. They peanut butter gets melty and the jelly is warm and drippy. OH MY GOODNESS! It was so good, it is now my favorite sandwich. I will probably have another one when I come in from playing outside. Yummy!! Julie
