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)

A Virus, an Earthquake, and Me

This might be a lengthy post so if you need the short version you can jump to the quotes for the highlights.  I went back and forth on whether I should even bother to say anything about all the events but have been happening recently because part of me just doesn't want to hear any more about it ... but the other part of me thought that in a year or two from now I may want to go back and remember what was going on at the time of this post. Ironically what has scared me much more than the coronavirus has been the frantic reaction of a lot of people. There is so much to be frustrated about, irritated over, and downright angry at.  HOWEVER... it is also been encouraging to see so many good things and that is what I would like to focus on. I have seen some really creative ideas being shared on how to work with our kids at home and how to keep ourselves sane during a time of isolation.  Many have offered free online sources to help us still attempt to enjoy life....

"Any man can be a father it takes someone special to be a daddy"

My dad and my grandpa are teaching me how to weld. I love welding because I want to be like my Dad. I like being out in the shop with my Dad and my Grandpa.  They always play good music while we work. Welding is cool because Grandpa makes awesome sculptures and Dad is able to fix a lot of stuff for us. My Dad and my Grandpa helped me weld a little firefighter helmet for the school Reflections contest. I made a little house to practice and it looks cool. I even chose a welding cake for my birthday. It's fun to weld with my Grandpa and my Dad.  Emmett - Age 9
