snow, snow, snow...

Today was one of those days that God reminded me no matter what, He is sovereign. So my hubby was being a good businessman and went to pick up a load of things for our store from Memphis, because a customer was expecting something in by Saturday. Nevermind that the forecast calling for snow in the late afternoon- he'd make it back in time. Well- God blew that snow in earlier than expected, and my husband was driving a truck, pulling a trailer, through it. The snow wasn't as worrisome as the ice. I was fine about it til he was calling, wanting to check the weather reports and such. Thankfully, God kept my heart calm and just waiting. That is not a fun thing. 

But, God did calm my heart enough that I did bundle Bekah and Belle up and enjoyed the snow with them. We went out there and made snow angels, threw snowballs...and in drove Daddy, after only being out there for 30 minutes. You know I threw a few snowballs at him...I was just so grateful that I could! So then we all played for a little before coming in to the warmth and napping. Here are some pictures... This is Belle's very first time in snow. She kept puckering up her lips and blowing out as it fell on her face. I put a few snowballs in her hands and she knew exactly what to do with them- she was laughing, throwing them at Mommy.  Bekah was like a giant marshmallow, all bundled up. Thank you, God for the beauty of your creation. Snow is SO fun!

We're going to try this...

Okay, so here we go...we've been meaning to start this for a while now, but never seem to find the time. Now that's a concept...finding time! Anyway, we're really going to try to "journal" our family's life as a whole, and allow our family and friends to look in. We're pretty upfront and honest, so it may not always be the "pretty little package"- if things are not so great, that will definitely be known, if things are just crazy with God's hand all over the place and exciting, then we'll have to write in all caps or something to get it across...so we're excited about this new thing. tried xanga for a little bit, but it wasn't working too well. maybe having a computer here at home and knowing how to use it will help change things. Then again, our 3 little girls and the more important things of life may keep us more occupied than trying to keep this as updated as possible. BUT- we do want to share life with you, so, here goes...
