A few days ago we had a record breaking snowstorm.  Lucky for me I didn't have to drive in it or hardly even have to walk in it.  I had the luxury of staying inside by a warm fire and watching the beautiful peaceful snowflakes fall all day long.  True confession, I love it when the first snow of winter falls and I'm sad when it stops in the spring.  Please don't hate me for that!

Whenever I see the yard and trees covered in white, it reminds me of when my youngest was about 5 or 6 years old.  She was looking out over all the snow and commented, "It makes the whole world look pure!"  How true! And seriously, don't you love it when the sun breaks through and it looks like everything is covered in clear glitter? 

I know it can be a pain to drive in, walk in, shovel, and clean up, but soon enough it will be gone and it will leave behind life giving water that will make the grass green, the flowers grow, and the lakes and streams full. The sun will shine and all will be well again.

What do you like about the snow?

My Dog Auggie

I have this energetic dog named Auggie and he always knows when you are happy or sad or even angry. If you're happy he’ll play with you, if you're sad he’ll lick you and be calm, if you're angry he’ll just make you happy. Having a dog is nice they're super nice and fun. My aunt had this nice and calm dog named Mabel and a few days ago she was put down because she was sick and it just makes me very grateful that I still have Auggie and I know that Mabel is all better and comfortable now.  Paden (age 10)

Finding Joy in the Simple Things

It's my son Tannen's turn to post but if it's alright I'd like to share something that he has taught me! This is one of the trucks Tannen got for his 6th birthday last week. This kid has been obsessed with vehicles since he was old enough to know what they were. If there is a vehicle around he will lose all focus on anything else. He will sit quietly and look through a Car and Driver Magazine page by page soaking in every car! Everyone that knows him knows about this obsession. Any type of vehicle from sports car to garbage truck brings him complete joy and it shows in his face, in his actions, and his words. I am so grateful for this little one who teaches me to truly find joy in the simple things!
